Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released tragically just days after the sudden death of legendary frontman and audio engineer Steve Albini, the trio's final studio effort encapsulates their rigidly minimalist, uncompromising aesthetic. The impeccably recorded tracking highlights the interplay between harsh, metallic guitar scrapes, skeletal basslines, and profoundly cynical, sardonic lyricism.
