All the artwork has been redesigned and comes in a very special gatefold sleeve with a stunning large-surface hot foil embossing.With a recent lineup changes, Orion Wainer ( Constants ), Drew Speziale ( Circle Takes the Square ) & Ben Gram (Lesser Glow )have been added, making Junius a 5 piece for the first time.
