Album Notes & Community Reviews

Rebounding successfully after a period of label issues and lineup changes, the leather-clad garage-rock trio introduced drummer Leah Shapiro and embraced a swampy, blues-driven aesthetic. The album mixes their signature feedback-heavy stomp with eerie, acoustic Americana detours, creating an undeniably cool, swaggering slice of gritty alternative rock.
