Album Notes & Community Reviews

Laying the groundwork for the uniquely angular and maritime-obsessed San Diego indie scene, the trio delivered a tense, labyrinthine debut. 'N脿 Vucc脿 D貌 Lup霉' relies heavily on Pall Jenkins' theatrical vocals and Armistead Burwell Smith IV's dominant, melodic basslines to navigate sparse, unpredictable song structures. The album established a moody, cinematic aesthetic that the members would later refine in projects like Pinback and The Black Heart Procession.
