Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Omaha post-hardcore veterans deliver a brooding, introspective set of songs heavily focused on themes of aging, regret, and lost potential. Retaining the brass elements introduced on their previous record, the instrumentation is slightly more subdued but maintains Tim Kasher's signature angularity and theatrical vocal delivery. The album explores complex adult neuroses through tightly wound indie rock structures.
