Skeletal Lamping

Kevin Barnes expanded his creative scope here, building a wide, disjointed work that acts as a delirious mix of funk and theatricality. The compositions display a commitment to excess and a departure from standard song structures.

Produced during a peak phase for the group, the record features a heavy mixture of synthetic elements and angular rock instrumentation. It captures the frantic spirit of the late 2000s, a time when many musicians actively obscured traditional genre boundaries.
