Album Notes & Community Reviews

Formed by key instrumental members of At the Drive-In immediately following their high-profile dissolution, the quartet's debut album took a noticeably more structured, atmospheric approach to post-hardcore. Jim Ward assumes lead vocal duties, offering a moodier, deeply melodic alternative to the frenzied chaos of his former band.
