They Threw Us All in a Trench and Stuck a Monument on Top

Angular basslines and frantic percussion collide in this jittery art-punk debut. A high-energy, dissonant record that ends with a thirty-minute hypnotic loop.

It's the jittery, bass-heavy dance-punk record that ends with a half-hour loop just to mess with you.

A high-strung, caffeinated burst of urban anxiety that finds a strange joy in its own dissonance.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition in track 2 where the frantic shouting collapses into a tight, infectious dance beat.
The sudden, jarring silence that punctuates the rhythmic chaos in track 5.
The final track's descent into a thirty-minute repetitive loop that tests the listener's patience and perception.
