Album Notes & Community Reviews

Delivering a relentless, rapid-fire barrage of incredibly brief, hyper-focused tracks, this release perfectly exemplifies the iconic trio's strict, economic approach to songwriting. Its tightly wound, funk-inflected basslines and jagged guitar phrasing heavily informed the developing post-hardcore landscape.
