press release describes the album as a "psychedelic space rock frenzy," and compares it to the music of Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., My Bloody Valentine, and Silversun Pickups.

[2] The band explains the single "Vessel," released on 3 October 2018, is about the "worth of being an artist in today's society is the message being portrayed through [their] art and the thrill of tapping in to that creative part of [their] brain.

The record release party for Die Progress Unit I was held on 2 November 2018 at Stosh's in Fair Lawn, New Jersey with LKFFCT, John Cozz, and Toy Cars.

[1] A review by Rich Quinlan in Jersey Beat says "Vessel" is an "incredible opener for Die Progress, as it is a fuzzy, slow boil of a droning guitar powerhouse," adding that the song "borrows heavily from the finest moments of post-shoegaze and 90s grunge-pop, and [it] is simply impossible to ignore."

He also says "many of the songs on Die Progress Unit I fly by briskly, only slightly touching the three-minute mark and often delivered with speed and charm.
