The band recently released the official video for "Turgid Waters," courtesy of Exclaim!Dive into "Turgid Waters" at this location.

Reward in Purpose will be released on CD and vinyl formats June 10 on War on Music and Sunmask Records. Check out the Reward in Purpose teaser video at this location.

Recorded by Jesse Gander and Mastered by Stu McKillop at Rain City Recorders, Reward in Purpose stands as a singular piece of music and is meant to be taken as it is; the whole is indeed bigger than the sum of its parts. This album explores the perceptions and experience of the band over the last few years together and culminates with the realization that the true reward for which we search with any passionate endeavour is ultimately a matter of experiencing the highs and lows that come with the pursuit of pure expression. It is simply a matter being occupied with something that matters to you.

Album artwork comes courtesy of Nick Patterson. ASTRAKHAN vocalist/guitarist Rob Zawistowski created the design and layout. Thanks to Amy Ray Photography for band photos, including the album's back cover.
