You Can Never Have a Long Enough Head Start

The Seattle-based collective delivers a sprawling, fiercely DIY album that brilliantly synthesizes the raw vulnerability of emo with the crushing volume of 90s shoegaze. It functions as an intensely personal, diaristic exploration of trans identity, youth, and navigating mental health struggles. The massive, feedback-heavy arrangements provide a cathartic release for the anxious, deeply poetic songwriting.
