Description/Reviews:

The result this time around is less classic prog and closer to an American black midi, Squid, or The Smile: Ever-changing rhythms, sometimes angular or heavy, with a maximalist texture and emotional core. All four band members' personalities shine through for a true group effort. Longtime collaborators guitarist/vocalist Jake Rose and bassist Dominique Reveneau continue their vision of music with complex yet groovable rhythms and a love of 80s post-punk as well as 70s prog. Keyboardist Salvador Altamirano-Farrell has one of the largest rigs you can fit on stage while not being named Rick Wakeman including three tiers of keys and loves all things synth and organ. This album also marks the first recorded appearance of fourth member, drummer Connor Reilly, known for his muscular and dexterous playing on albums by The Mercury Tree, Greco Bastian, and Ventifacts, among others.
