Following the massive commercial breakthrough of 'Singles', the Baltimore synth-pop trio polishes their driving, romantic new-wave sound. The album is anchored by incredibly active, melodic basslines and Samuel T. Herring's hyper-passionate, theatrical vocal delivery exploring themes of heartbreak and open highways. It notably features a duet with Debbie Harry of Blondie on the track 'Shadows'.
