Album Notes & Community Reviews

The indie rock lifers return with a remarkably energetic, noisy blast of anthemic power pop that wrestles deeply with modern existential dread. Despite the heavily anxious and fiercely introspective lyricism, the band's signature fuzzy guitars and relentlessly melodic hooks keep the atmosphere powerfully uplifting and passionate. It is a bittersweet, expertly crafted continuation of their legendary guitar-pop legacy.
