Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Chicago-based supergroup, featuring members of Shrimp Boat and Tortoise, delivered a wonderfully breezy, highly sophisticated sophomore effort. The incredibly tight musicianship effortlessly weaves bossa nova rhythms, jazz-inflected drumming, and lush analog synthesizers into a surprisingly accessible indie-pop framework. It stands as a uniquely warm, meticulously arranged highlight of the 1990s post-rock continuum.
