Album Notes & Community Reviews

Moving away from the 1970s rock aesthetics of his recent releases, Kevin Barnes heavily integrates modern EDM production, trap beats, and bright synthesizers into his eclectic art-pop. The album juxtaposes incredibly vibrant, dance-floor-ready instrumentation with highly confessional lyrics concerning his separation from his wife and exploring gender fluidity. It serves as a colorful, intensely erratic emotional purge.
