Album Notes & Community Reviews

Fueled by the massive success of the breakout single 'Cardiac Arrest', 'Language & Perspective' is the polished, highly infectious debut album from the Southern California rock quartet. The record borrows heavily from 1980s post-punk and new wave, delivering crisp, angular guitar lines and danceable rhythms beneath massive pop vocal melodies. It perfectly captures a breezy, sun-drenched alternative pop aesthetic that resonated widely with modern indie audiences.
