Titles such as \u2018When We\u2019ll Know Who Won\u2019, \u2018What We Know and What We Don\u2019t Know\u2019, and \u2018Traps, Smokescreens and Suicide Bombers\u2019 hint at the media\u2019s attempt to fact check and monitor the very basis of democracy. These voiceless songs are slow, murky, but with a growling rise of noise and grit which suggest the struggle to navigate a path through such divided times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cassette release date 1 November 2020.
