Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stepping away from the massively distorted, heavy shoegaze walls of their earliest records, the California band incorporates distinctively bluesy, roots-rock riffing into their dream-pop foundation. The result is a highly moody, deeply melancholic indie rock album characterized by Jason Martin's signature whispered vocals and expansive, vintage-amp warmth.
