Album Notes & Community Reviews

The debut full-length from the enigmatic London-based collective merges chaotic post-punk energy with primitive, analog electronic rhythms. The recording process famously incorporated homemade synthesizers fashioned from actual logs and branches, played percussively to generate driving, krautrock-inspired grooves. The album's feral, woodland-themed aesthetic offers a surreal critique of modern technological detachment.
