Martin Phillipps relocated to the United States to craft this ambitious, conceptually sprawling album alongside a host of high-profile session musicians. The record infuses the band's signature New Zealand jangle pop with elaborate art-rock orchestrations, complex vocal arrangements, and interludes, showcasing Phillipps's deeply eccentric pop vision.
