Album Notes & Community Reviews

Functioning more as a sprawling compilation than a traditional studio album, 'All Styles' highlights the collective's bizarre, endlessly inventive approach to underground pop. The deliberately disjointed sequencing skips haphazardly between reggae dub plates, bright pop melodies, and abrasive art-rock.
