Album Notes & Community Reviews

Led by Ed Kuepper following the dissolution of proto-punk legends The Saints, the band's second full-length album showcases a highly sophisticated, jazz-inflected approach to post-punk. The complex, swinging rhythms are driven by prominent saxophone lines, upright bass, and Kuepper's distinctively urgent acoustic and electric guitar playing. The record houses their most enduring track, the sweeping, anthemic 'Eternally Yours'.
