Album Notes & Community Reviews
Standing as a crucial creative turning point, the avant-pop collective explicitly embraces kitschy lounge and easy listening aesthetics alongside their standard motorik repetition. The lengthy title serves as a direct, winking reference to the bizarre mid-century instrumental pop that heavily inspired their widening sonic palette. It prominently features the deeply hypnotic, droning standout track 'Avant Garde M.O.R.'.
