Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking their debut for Vagrant Records, the project features a more structured and melodic approach than their earlier work, benefiting from the polished production of GGGarth Richardson. The arrangements emphasize the intricate dual-vocal dynamic between Benjamin Perri's visceral screams and Francis Mark's melodic clean passages and drumming. 'The Fiction We Live' became a significant document of the early 2000s New York heavy music scene, bridging the gap between underground aggression and anthemic accessibility.
