Multi-instrumentalists built these songs using a software loop program called Deeler to layer complex parts. This method gives the music a mathematical precision that feels both spontaneous and crafted.
Released during the Portland indie rock boom, the album balances angular rhythms with melodic pop. It captures a tension between raw energy and the studio experimentation that defined much of the music from that era.
