Dance on the Blacktop

Produced by the legendary John Agnello, the third full-length album from the Philadelphia shoegaze quartet leans heavily into a deeply murky, grunge-infused atmosphere. Frontman Domenic Palermo documents the harrowing personal toll of surviving a violent assault and subsequent brain injury through intensely vulnerable lyricism buried under massive walls of overdriven guitar fuzz. It acts as the band's darkest, most dynamically heavy release to date.
