The band’s sound world is a fresh mix of fuzz rock, shoegaze, grunge and classic rock with a touch of doom.

“The album combines all the best elements of ambient, shoegaze and even 90s grunge. There are also guitar harmonies on the album. The album holds its grip throughout the listening, and offers new dimensions and moods with each song. There is no other album like it in this country!” — MusaMusa Podcast
