Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating entirely as a solo project for frontman Jonny Pierce, the fourth studio album returns to the shimmering, reverb-drenched surf-pop of the band's origins. Recorded in a cabin in upstate New York and an apartment in Los Angeles, Pierce handled all instrumental and vocal tracking. The lyricism provides a deeply vulnerable exploration of heartbreak, sexual identity, and personal alienation.
