Album Notes & Community Reviews

Utilizing high-contrast dynamics and a sharp production aesthetic, the EP investigates themes of depression and social hypocrisy. The recordings prioritize an energetic and often satirical approach to the intersections of aggressive rock and structural dissonance. It represents a significant reflective statement of the band's move toward increasingly sophisticated and structurally varied interpretations of the post-hardcore genre.
