Album Notes & Community Reviews

Constructed as a conceptual critique of modern technology and societal disconnection, 'The Sticks' finds the Canadian indie rock outfit advocating for an isolationist retreat into nature. The album balances these misanthropic lyrical themes with tightly wound vocal harmonies and highly melodic, theatrical pop hooks.
