Album Notes & Community Reviews

The San Diego trio's sophomore effort is a sprawling, deeply atmospheric exploration of tension and angular rock dynamics. Driven by Pall Jenkins' dramatic vocal delivery and intensely melodic, intertwining basslines, the album served as a crucial precursor to the members' subsequent legendary projects, Pinback and The Black Heart Procession.
