This New York three-piece started out as a jazz trio in New Jersey. After releasing their first album in 2008, they ditched their acoustic instruments, picked up electronic gear and went metal. Heavy guitar, distortion, and occasional introspective segments combined with retained jazz elements such as complex time signatures and improvisation make for brooding, weighty instrumental prog-rock.
