Album Notes & Community Reviews

Releasing on Coheed and Cambria frontman Claudio Sanchez's Evil Ink label, the New Jersey septet unleashes a wildly fun, horn-heavy progressive rock triumph. The album flawlessly executes dizzying, highly technical instrumental passages infused with funk and jazz fusion, entirely anchored by Salvatore Marrano's soaring pop vocal melodies. It serves as an incredibly joyous, accessible gateway into extreme musical complexity.
