Throbbing ebb and flow, electronic undercurrents and elated pop flourishes characterize the album. Instruments are filtered through an array of analogue synths, analog drum machines exist in harmony with live drums, and over morphing walls of sound and spiralling sonic landscapes, Peacock's lyrics and oftentimes haunting vocals distinctly ground the album. The members of Mwahaha have been writing and performing together for close to 10 years in various bands. Mwahaha is giant leap forward, achieving greater rewards while still pursuing sonic exploration. The band is already hard at work on their follow-up release for Plug Research and continues to adhere to their original tenet: 'There are times you see a band perform and you're blown away by the live show, but you bring the album home and that special something just isn't captured in the recordings,' Peacock says. 'We weren't going to perform live until we had a record that the live show would have to live up to... something that documented the changes and struggles we all deal with, but with space to grow with and into what the listener needs it to be.'
