Album Notes & Community Reviews

A profoundly sad and melodic staple of early-2000s midwest emo, 'Fighting Starlight' thrives on intricate, interlocking guitar patterns. The Californian band completely avoids screamed vocals, instead delivering highly passionate, deeply melancholic indie rock saturated with themes of lonely longing.
