the week by Louder Than War and is out on Crackedankles Records in September 2023.

TV FACE recommends:
Visceral and brut-iful soundscapes arranged as amazing songs, with wonderfully opaque lyrics - no pronouns! A band that manages to create records that are as intriguing and powerful as they are live.
