Recorded in Auckland, Melbourne and New York City, this five-track mini-album clearly benefits from Gaffaney's burgeoning ability to mix strong melodies with angular rhythms.
Add to that Tokona's dexterous, flailing electric guitar and the result is a cleverly layered example of build-and-release catharsis.
Immerse yourself in a wall of sound.
