Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating heavily in the American underground, the Virginia-based trio delivers an overwhelming blast of abrasive, high-velocity shoegaze. The band brilliantly fuses the propulsive, rigid drum-machine rhythms of vintage post-punk with a dense, blown-out wall of guitar feedback and buried pop melodies, capturing a uniquely volatile sonic energy.
