Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating as a massive, career-spanning box-set retrospective, 'Scenes of a Sexual Nature' curates a comprehensive collection of the duo's extensive single, EP, and unreleased catalogs. The tracks map their entire creative development, charting a unique trajectory through slowcore, spoken-word indie pop, and experimental post-rock. It stands as an exhaustive, brutally honest monument to their uncompromising exploration of modern intimacy, desire, and emotional failure.
