Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stepping away from their trademark Mariachi-infused instrumentals, the Tucson band adopts a more traditional, vocal-driven indie rock and Americana format. The songwriting tackles political unease and environmental degradation, reflecting the anxieties of mid-2000s America. The streamlined approach highlights Joey Burns' earnest vocal delivery and narrative focus.
