Album Notes & Community Reviews

In a stark departure from their trademark heavily distorted shoegaze sound, the Californian trio embraces deep-rooted Americana, gospel, and blues influences. Stripping back their volume for acoustic guitars, piano, and complex vocal harmonies, the record pays overt homage to the American beat generation and classic heartland folk.
