Album Notes & Community Reviews

Now entering their sixth decade as a band, the eccentric Mael brothers continue their late-career renaissance with this highly sarcastic and idiosyncratic art-pop release. The album utilizes driving synthesizer lines and theatrical vocal performances to deliver witty commentaries on modern alienation, technology, and celebrity culture. It reaffirms their unique status as relentless, continually evolving pop provocateurs.
