Album Notes & Community Reviews

Spencer Krug's highly prolific Montreal collective pushed their theatrical, maximalist indie-rock to its absolute conceptual limits on their third album. The incredibly dense, labyrinthine recording is packed with manic tempo shifts, cryptic fantasy lyricism, and dramatic, overlapping instrumental suites that demand intense listener dissection.
