Album Notes & Community Reviews
Released as an almost album-length mini-LP following 'Cobra and Phases Group Play Voltage in the Milky Night', the avant-pop collective delivers an incredibly dense, groove-oriented release. The tracks heavily prioritize repetitive, krautrock-inspired basslines and complex horn arrangements underneath L忙titia Sadier's hypnotic vocal melodies.
