Mandala

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Completely shedding the remnants of their third-wave ska origins, the California quartet fully embraces a highly complex, progressive rock sound on their sixth studio album. The tracks are anchored by a fiercely technical rhythm section and Matt Embree's dynamic vocal range, heavily incorporating reggae upstrokes into dizzying, odd-meter riffing. The release is widely praised as a masterpiece of modern, genre-defying alternative rock.
