This album is a tumble of hits and ragers, sewing together nine new Purling Hiss (aka Mike Polizze) tracks out of their usual patches of distortion, singing melodies and unexpected production hoohah - but this time the unexpected part is how the guitars gleam so precisely as they pile upon each other, how they work alongside of the rhythm section rather than avalanching it.
Of notable inclusion: Adam Granduciel from The War on Drugs helped produce and plays a bit of piano on Water On Mars.
