Album Notes & Community Reviews

Relocating from their native Tucson to a studio in Northern California, the veteran indie rock band infuses their cinematic, desert-noir sound with a more urgent, guitar-driven energy. The lyrical themes touch upon environmental anxieties and the increasingly fractured state of the modern world.
