Album Notes & Community Reviews

Trey Spruance's wildly expansive project continues its dizzying exploration of genre hybridization, presenting tracks attributed to various fictional 'satellite bands'. The album seamlessly transitions between cinematic spaghetti western themes, complex Middle Eastern orchestrations, frantic surf rock, and punishing avant-garde metal passages in a masterclass of eclectic composition.
