Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing a highly prolific resurgence late in their career, the eighteenth studio album from the legendary DIY indie rock group is an uncharacteristically tight and accessible affair. The tracking slightly reins in Jad Fair's signature chaotic, out-of-tune guitar noise, relying on surprisingly cohesive, straightforward alternative rock structures and joyous, childlike vocal melodies. The record highlights their enduring eccentric charm and unshakably positive spirit.
