about

The collective makes a bold statement with its core eleven piece ensemble on this premiere recording engineered by Scott Colburn (Sun City Girls, Animal Collective). Throbbing punk textures slash through a thick musk of space orchestration and madcap melodies. This is new composition in a spontaneous music combat zone.
