Album Notes & Community Reviews

Becoming a foundational release for Vagrant Records and the 2000s emo-pop explosion, this debut brilliantly contrasts chaotic Midwestern emo energy with prominent Moog synthesizer lines. The interplay between Josh Berwanger's strained vocals and Adrianne Verhoeven's sweet pop harmonies established a highly energetic, bittersweet dynamic.
