Album Notes & Community Reviews

Returning to the fragmented, highly varied song structures of their beloved early 1990s material, the Brooklyn alternative-pop veterans packed their sixteenth album with twenty-five brief, wildly creative tracks. The Johns effortlessly traverse quirky power-pop, bizarre lyrical wordplay, and upbeat indietronica in a masterclass of eclectic geek rock.
