Album Notes & Community Reviews

Emerging from the vibrant college rock scene of the 1980s, the Connecticut quartet's full-length debut draws frequent, inescapable comparisons to early R.E.M.. The album relies heavily on Mark Mulcahy's emotive vocal delivery and shimmering, melancholic guitar lines to craft deeply bittersweet alternative pop songs.
