Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originally recorded on a home multi-track cassette portastudio, 'Failure' introduces the incredible vocal harmonies and cynical lyricism of Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow. The Seattle duo's debut stands in stark contrast to the region's burgeoning grunge scene, opting instead for pristine, 1960s-inspired power pop.
