Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Seattle quintet's debut introduced a remarkably intricate, yet highly accessible fusion of complex guitar tapping and breezy indie pop. Characterized by labyrinthine time signatures and absurd, inside-joke song titles, the record set a vibrant, upbeat template for the burgeoning math-pop genre.
