Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring the dynamic dual-vocal interplay of Jonny Craig's soulful cleans and Jon Mess's chaotic screams, this debut essentially established the blueprint for modern 'swancore'. The band's incorporation of intricate math-rock guitar tapping and R&B sensibilities provided a highly technical, melodic evolution for the post-hardcore genre.
