The experimental trio has over the years assembled a fascinating catalog that fuses detailed post-rock, folk, and electronica with the aural ephemera and sonic textures of their chosen themes. While their first three collections have relied heavily on the sampling of archival material, this album sees them utilizing a more impressionist and mood-based approach. Citing Bowie's landmark album Low as a significant influence, the band have tapped into a similar dark futurism which is translated here through the use of thick analog synths, repetitive Krautrock motifs, and radiant crescendos.
