Album Notes & Community Reviews

The notoriously unpredictable noise-pop quartet isolated themselves in a barren New Mexico desert office space to rapidly record their fourteenth album in just seven days. The resulting record is an incredibly loose, highly eclectic blast of jagged garage rock, funk, and sugar-sweet pop melodies. It functions as a brilliant, playful testament to their enduring chemistry and spontaneous songwriting process.
