Album Notes & Community Reviews

The New York noise rock trio's fourth album is a relentlessly grim, bludgeoning exercise in urban hostility. Grounded by Chris Spencer's blood-curdling screams and a suffocating, sludge-heavy rhythm section, the record perfectly soundtracked the violent, grimy aesthetic they prominently featured on their album covers.
