Album Notes & Community Reviews
This ambitious concept album tells the story of a traveling circus whose train crashes in 19th-century Montana. 'Ten Stories' synthesizes the various sounds of the band's career, blending the melodic indie rock and folk elements of its predecessor with a powerful return to their post-hardcore energy. It's a rich, narrative-driven work of folklore, populated by animal characters who grapple with philosophical and existential questions.
