** Combining heavy primal rhythms, chunks of metalesque guitar and soaring Middle Eastern tinged melodies, Floater spiral from somber, contemplative and atmospheric, to furious hook-laden blasts of rage. The riveting lyrics of isolation and insanity are set against dark and moody aural landscapes, ambient sampling montages, and savage instrumental punch; all woven into a 68 minute, 17 song conceptual opus. Sink received a preliminary Grammy nomination in the category of Best Rock Album . "Not the standard mix of radio singles and album filler, but something that flows smoothly and brilliantly from start to finish." —(Pandemonium)
