Album Notes & Community Reviews

Kevin Barnes' second album with the Elephant 6 collective is an eccentric, highly intimate concept record detailing the crumbling of a romantic relationship. The deeply whimsical, vaudeville-inspired acoustic pop melodies serve as a brightly colored, theatrical mask for the project's profound underlying heartache and neurosis.
