This is the first album from the longtime global indie scene, which continues to expand its musical horizons, and is the first release after moving to <4AD>. The album features 15 songs in total, greatly inspired by the deserted frontier of Marfa, Texas, which the band will visit in the summer of 2020.Guests include Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music producer Casey Hill, Domino's Buscabula, producer Benamin (known for her work with Princess Nokia), Jen Wisner of Wye Oak, and the multi-talented Opal Hoyt. Allies from around Brooklyn are all here. This inner escape from the anomalous world of hip-hop, tropicalismo, and electronica brewed with sweet psychedelia can be recommended to listeners of Haruomi Hosono, Mndsgn (Mind Design), and Toro y Moi, and will be a hot release for the second half of 2021!
