Album Notes & Community Reviews

Designed as a concept album exploring natural disasters and apocalyptic anxieties, this release stands as the final studio effort from the Dallas-based noise rock outfit before their dissolution. John Congleton's signature dissonant guitar work and frantic vocal delivery are interwoven with unnerving strings and piano. The intensely paranoid atmosphere solidifies the group's reputation for crafting uniquely unsettling and theatrical punk.
