Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by Kurt Ballou of Converge and featuring drumming from Ben Koller, this album pushed the anonymous art-collective's sound into more extreme territory. The record layers pummeling hardcore and harsh electronics with moments of disorienting pop melody, creating a dense and punishing listening experience. Its confrontational approach to sound and structure cemented their status as a unique and challenging force in heavy music.
