Album Notes & Community Reviews

Completing their evolution away from third-wave ska, the California act fully embraces sprawling progressive rock and rhythmic post-hardcore. The compositions feature intricate horn arrangements intertwined with complex guitar tapping and socially conscious, anti-war lyricism. It is a creatively fearless and highly respected shift in their artistic trajectory.
