Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Instant Gratification' solidifies the famously erratic band's lineup, capturing the peak synergy between clean vocalist Tilian Pearson and harsh vocalist Jon Mess. The quintet perfectly executes their self-created 'Swancore' aesthetic, colliding intricate math-rock guitar tapping with massive, infectious pop hooks. The album's uniquely playful, chaotic energy set an impossibly high technical and melodic standard for the contemporary post-hardcore scene.
