Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recording with long-time collaborator Steve Albini, the Chicago-based trio presents an impeccably raw, live-in-the-studio sounding album. 'Lifestyle' is driven by Andy Cohen's intricate guitar interplay and Tim Midyett's world-weary, cynical lyricism. The record stands as a remarkably consistent, highly melodic testament to the band's unpretentious approach to Midwestern independent rock.
