Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as their second full-length release of 2017, the legendary lo-fi indie group continues their prolific output under Robert Pollard's direction. The tracking retains the classic power pop crunch and infectious melodies that defined their 1990s peak, recorded with a revitalized, cohesive band lineup. The album highlights Pollard's seemingly endless well of concise, enigmatic rock songwriting.
