Album Notes & Community Reviews
The debut from the massive Nashville-based collective introduces Kurt Wagner's uniquely hushed, conversational vocal style and skewed, poetic worldview. Operating on the fringes of alternative country, the band subverts traditional Nashville tropes by incorporating lush brass and strings, setting the stage for their future chamber-pop explorations.
