Album Notes & Community Reviews

John Congleton's Dallas-based outfit introduces a deeply unsettling, highly chaotic take on dissonant post-hardcore. 'Young Bodies Heal Quickly, You Know' relies heavily on erratic song structures, horror movie samples, and angular, jagged guitar figures. Congleton's strained, manic vocal delivery enhances the persistent atmosphere of apocalyptic dread and psychological tension.
