Album Notes & Community Reviews

The critically acclaimed Scottish trio delivered their most accessible, highly polished pop record yet without sacrificing their underlying experimental anxiety. The album brilliantly merges chaotic, distorted hip-hop beats and industrial synths with soaring, gospel-inflected vocal hooks and deeply profound sociopolitical lyricism. It was heavily celebrated as a wildly dynamic, deeply vital masterclass in modern alternative pop.
