Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing their remarkable evolution from chaotic post-hardcore into deeply cinematic, blues-driven rock, the New Jersey outfit delivers an incredibly ambitious concept album. 'Holy Vacants' tells a sprawling, mythological narrative utilizing massive, triumphant horn sections, remarkably gruff vocal performances, and surprisingly intricate, progressive guitar work. It serves as a profoundly passionate, highly sentimental, and brilliantly nocturnal rock epic.
