“This album is a complete freak show, and I mean that in the most complimentary manner imaginable. I have no idea what genre this might be considered, which makes me love it even more.”

“It’s a technosonic musical journey of compositional polytonality and polyvalency complemented by intricate arrangements of darting and weaving synthesized, electronic motifs amid lyrics of spoken word and harmonized vocal verses and choruses. You’ll hear elements of clever orchestral interplay akin to everyone from Edgard Varese and Karlheinz Stockhausen to Danny Elfman and Frank Zappa.”
