Album Notes & Community Reviews

Propelled directly into the stratosphere by the inescapable radio ubiquity of the single 'Closing Time', this sophomore release is a masterclass in sharply written alternative pop. Dan Wilson's knack for bittersweet, deeply melodic songwriting captures the emotional nuances of everyday romance with remarkable sincerity.
