Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking a shift toward more communal and acoustic textures, 'You, You're a History in Rust' incorporates human vocals for the first time in the band's discography. The album was tracked at the Rock Island studio and features a significant presence of banjo, piano, and group choruses alongside their signature twin-drum kit attack. It represents a bridge between their experimental post-rock roots and a more grounded, folk-influenced sensibility.
