Album Notes & Community Reviews

For their final album before an acrimonious breakup, the New York quartet heavily incorporated breakbeats and drum-and-bass programming into their signature avant-garde slump-rock. The resulting sound is a remarkably dense, hypnotic collision of upright bass, abstract poetry, and stuttering electronic rhythms.
