Beside subject matter which traverses everything from social change to personal evolution, there's a volatile storm brewing beneath the album's eleven angular songs. It's a relentless whirlwind of dynamic, dueling guitars. It's an unstoppable hurricane-force rhythm section, the backbone which bends and twists, but never breaks. It's Jon Loudon's erupting, exploding and always heart-stopping vocals, singing an earnest narrative by which it's impossible not to be captivated. It's all of this, plus an intangible feeling of cohesion between members, as if each part of the song could not exist or thrive without the others. Symbiotic relationships like this not only allow jena berlin to feed off one another but to grow and develop within themselves as well. Tracklisting: 01. CHELSEA 02. COMMUNIQUE 03. INSTRUMENTS 04.
