Album Notes & Community Reviews

On their third full-length, the Washington D.C. trio seamlessly integrates cold, vintage synthesizers and drum machines into their mathematically precise, instrumental post-rock. 'The Surveillance' embraces a futuristic, paranoid aesthetic, bridging the gap between angular guitar dynamics and robotic, krautrock-inspired electronic rhythms.
