Album Notes & Community Reviews

Formed as a multicultural collective in London, the ensemble delivers a bizarre, deeply compelling fusion of library music, space-age pop, and motorik krautrock. Sung across multiple languages, the album explores themes of utopianism and international solidarity against the backdrop of Brexit-era isolationism. It is a wildly creative, highly psychedelic project that feels entirely untethered from modern musical trends.
