About
The Moon and Antarctica album was released on June 13, 2000 by Epic records. The album was produced by Brian Deck and it is their first released under a major record label, Epic.
The album explores death and afterlife done uniquely genuine where it starts vibrantly from beginning to end. The first track "3rd Planet" is simple, ramshackle melody and strange and ends with a climatic burst of noise for "What People Are Made Of".
