Album Notes & Community Reviews
Anchored by Sykes' dusky, melancholic vocals and Phil Wandscher's textured, slowcore-influenced guitar work, this sophomore effort deepens the group's Pacific Northwest gothic aesthetic. 'Oh, My Girl' operates as a haunting, lethargically paced exploration of dark Americana and desolate romanticism.
