Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating as an enigmatic supergroup featuring members of Rx Bandits and Circa Survive, the collective's debut operates under strict artistic anonymity with members assigned animal monikers. The record intersperses aggressively technical post-hardcore bursts with cryptic spoken-word interludes and nautical-themed experimental passages.
