Album Notes & Community Reviews

Teaming with producer Jacknife Lee, the Los Angeles alternative rock quartet adopted a significantly darker, more synth-heavy approach for their third studio effort. The album noticeably integrates prominent electronic textures and drum machines alongside Brian Aubert's signature distorted guitar squalls. Thematically steeped in horror-movie imagery and urban paranoia, it stands as the band's most dense and structurally adventurous release.
