Album Notes & Community Reviews

The anonymous collective presents a typically surreal, heavily electronic conceptual project exploring human mating rituals through the perspectives of animals. The dense, cinematic synthesizer production is interspersed with their signature pitch-shifted vocals, spoken word narratives, and bizarre, clattering percussion, resulting in a distinctly unsettling atmosphere.
