Album Notes & Community Reviews

Returning a distinct sense of urgency to their sound, the veteran alternative rock trio largely recorded this seventh studio album completely live in the studio. The production notably strips away the orchestral embellishments of their previous records, focusing entirely on Matthew Caws' earnest vocal melodies and driving, distorted guitar hooks. The album represents a vibrant, energetic distillation of their signature power pop sensibilities.
