Album Notes & Community Reviews

For their final album as a duo, Lou Barlow and John Davis leaned heavily into polished, rhythmic grooves, drastically departing from their lo-fi origins. The integration of subtle trip-hop beats underneath Barlow's trademark melancholic songwriting creates a uniquely mellow, hypnotic indie-pop atmosphere.
