optics [06.15.2007 | alfa matrix | 55:02]
the latest full-length album sees the band exploring new sounds and traversing genres while maintaining an emphasis on sophisticated songwriting. brittany bindrim's voice soars on the epic opening track, 'cursive eve', and she never looks back. the quartet shows off its polished new sound with sexy dance-rock ['ultravioletfly', 'machine vision'] and club-friendly synthpop ['melt', 'toy soldier']. meanwhile they are just as comfortable utilizing organic rock elements on the beautifully haunting 'translate' and powerfully catchy 'salt of stones'. bindrim's lyrics have never been better as she explores topics of a more political, social, and sexual nature while not abandoning her trademark insightful introspection. and once again, electronic music mastermind wade alin [christ analogue, atomica] adds his signature slick production elements to the 12-track set.

optics is also available as a limited edition 2-cd box set. included are the 12-track main disc, a 12-track remix disc, a sticker, a poster, and several postcards. the remix disc contains contributions from the likes of combichrist, clan of xymox, mortiis, angelspit, and many others.
