Third NOUS ensemble album — collective open-jam compositions with Thor Harris, Greg Fox, Shahzad Ismaily, and Christopher Bono.
Third album from the NOUS ensemble, continuing the project's practice of collective, spontaneous instrumental compositions. Heavy Blog described the collective as conjuring a transfixing instrumental display that keeps with the band's "Godspeed You! Black Emperor playing krautrock" ethos.

“often sounds like contemporary classical viewed through an extreme metal lens, and the result is pretty exciting stuff.”
Brooklyn Vegan
“spontaneous-sounding, heavily percussive recordings”
Flood Magazine
“a hypnotic piece of moody post rock, balancing vibraphone pulses with urgent drumming and some dusty strands of noir guitar and strings. It's stunning.”
Treble
“The collective conjures a transfixing instrumental display that keeps with the band's 'Godspeed You! Black Emperor playing krautrock' ethos… my most anticipated album dropping this month”
Heavy Blog is Heavy
“shows collaborators deep in the flow with layered percussion, an undertow of groove, wordless vocals and multiple peaks and valleys as the 4 minutes stretch into an infinite ocean of sound. Incredible work.”
