Album Notes & Community Reviews
Recorded during the avant-garde collective's residency in Brussels, this ambitious mini-album represents their ongoing synthesis of European art-pop and jazz-rock. The cinematic, highly eclectic arrangements utilize strings, horns, and complex synthesizer textures to weave a surprisingly sensual, surreal, and less claustrophobic post-punk atmosphere.
