Album Notes & Community Reviews

The debut full-length from the Ipswich quintet was recorded in just three days at Earthbound Studios with producer Jesse Cannon. It established the band as a leading voice in the early 2010s emo revival, blending the aggressive energy of melodic hardcore with the vulnerability of mid-90s alternative rock. The record centers on themes of displacement and the longing for home, characterized by Andrew Fisher鈥檚 raw, emotive vocal delivery.
