Album Notes & Community Reviews
Rather than recording original material, the band delivered a wildly eclectic, highly orchestrated album of cover songs. The record brilliantly reimagines tracks from Kraftwerk, The Doors, and Iggy Pop, filtering them through a lush, psychedelic, and characteristically gothic art-pop lens. 'Through the Looking Glass' is a playful, richly arranged tribute to the band's diverse musical DNA.
