Album Notes & Community Reviews

Bursting with joyous, choir-led orchestral pop, the Canadian collective's breakthrough album was proudly characterized by frontman Joel Gibb as 'gay church folk music'. The profoundly upbeat, celebratory instrumentation joyfully subverts expectations when paired with highly explicit, unapologetically queer lyricism.
