Album Notes & Community Reviews

Propelled by R.E.M.'s Mitch Easter, the North Carolina quintet delivers a shining, immaculately constructed set of southern college rock. The record perfects their ringing, melancholic guitar lines and earnest vocal melodies, establishing them as a premier act of the American jangle-pop explosion.
