“It’s an experimental swirl of space synths and post rock dub drone. There’s a wacked out dub feel to all of this as if on a hefty comedown. If only all post rock could be like this.”
-Acid Ted Blog

———————————————–
Our music have been featured and performed across continents all the way from New York, to Guangzhou and Beirut. As an experimental group, we value creating new soundscapes and atmospheres, but not necessarily for the sake of experimentation. We improvise during our performances, and certain tracks sound different live than the original recordings. Throughout our discography you’ll hear Noise-rock, Post-metal, Ambient, Drone, Dub and even Techno. As random as it seems, everything is structured and presented with a calculated and predetermined audible purpose. It’s just music.
