Album Notes & Community Reviews

Written collaboratively during lockdown by passing audio files among band members, their tenth studio album successfully reinvigorates their classic early-2000s sound. Enlisting producer John Congleton to bring a grittier edge, the record balances soaring indie-pop melodies with surprising bursts of distorted guitar noise and existential lyricism.
