Album Notes & Community Reviews

Formed from the ashes of several prominent Chicago underground bands, this debut album establishes their trademark breezy, jazz-inflected approach to indie rock. Sam Prekop's hushed vocals float effortlessly over John McEntire's complex, propulsive drum work, weaving a sophisticated sound that bridged indie pop and the emerging post-rock scene.
