Just Got Back From the Discomfort-We're Alright cover art

A cult classic of the emo revival, this album blends math rock complexity with lo-fi electronics and horns. The vocals are raw and yelping, delivering anxious lyrics over chaotic, shifting time signatures. It is a unique, ambitious, and deeply emotional record that found its audience years after its release.
