Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded in Seattle, the notoriously unpolished North Carolina quartet deliberately smoothed out their abrasive edges while expanding their sonic palette with keyboards and experimental tape loops. Eric Bachmann's signature strained, cynical vocal delivery remains intact, but the compositions lean noticeably toward a more atmospheric, sprawling interpretation of indie rock. It stands as a pivotal, highly adventurous transitional record in their critically acclaimed discography.
