Album Notes & Community Reviews
'Argon' serves as a punishing, completely lo-fi assault of heavily improvised, guitar-driven noise rock. The British collective intentionally buries vague rhythmic fragments beneath suffocating, highly hypnotic layers of relentlessly distorted drone and abrasive feedback. It operates effectively as a raw, utterly uncompromising endurance test for dedicated fans of extreme soundscaping.
