What we noticed

  • The first three tracks feature heavy guitar riffs and extended instrumental sections, creating a dense soundscape.
  • The tempo varies significantly between tracks, with some maintaining a slow, hypnotic groove while others build to more intense climaxes.
  • Several songs incorporate layered vocal harmonies that intertwine with the instrumentation, enhancing the psychedelic feel.

Little footprint beyond its audience. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
