Album Notes & Community Reviews

Gathering a series of limited edition vinyl singles, the avant-pop veterans weave their trademark vintage synthesizers and motorik rhythms into concise, melodic structures. It operates as a surprisingly cohesive summary of their unique, politically charged space-age sound. The compilation features prominent brass arrangements seamlessly integrated into their retro-futuristic aesthetic.
