Up until you can get your mitts on a physical copy, you can stream the full-length on Exclaim.ca.

CLPPNG follows the outfit's debut home job Midcity, and a press release notes that rapper Daveed Diggs and producers Jonathan Snipes and William Hutson have tweaked the template a little bit to have their "experimental sounds… fit a wider emotional range." The anger heard on Midcity is still present on tracks like the album's "Intro," described as "the most uncompromisingly brutal piece of music they've yet recorded," but tunes like "Tonight" and "Work Work" bring an experimental bounce to the proceedings.
