Album Notes & Community Reviews

Bridging the gap between the furious post-hardcore of their earlier records and the sprawling studio experimentation of 'Leaves Turn Inside You', this EP highlights the band's expanding sonic palette. The tracks integrate dub-influenced basslines, tape loops, and repetitive instrumental vamps that trade sheer aggression for hypnotic tension. It marks a critical turning point in the Olympia trio's stylistic evolution.
