Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as their first album officially incorporating touring drummer Mike Lowry as a full member, the Baltimore quartet delivers a deeply emotional, synth-driven record. Frontman Samuel T. Herring continues to command the soundscapes with his theatrical, hyper-passionate vocal delivery, exploring themes of newfound love and confronting past traumas. The production leans into a slightly slower, more reflective tempo than their earlier dance-floor hits.
