Led by visual artist and musician Ranny Macdonald, the ten-member group combine chamber pop with a progressive, densely layered sound. The record matters as an ambitious concept album that uses a surreal story to explore contemporary society.

The album follows Dick Herman, an employee of the fictional social media company Telepix, who falls asleep at his desk and enters a vivid dream involving a whale.

It was broadly self-produced, with additional production from SHOLTO and Patrick Fitzroy, and released through 5dB Records.
