Album Notes & Community Reviews
Released as a remix double-feature for Record Store Day, these tracks highlight the band's brilliant integration of synthetic elements into their indie rock framework. 'Sprawl II', led by R茅gine Chassagne's soaring vocals and heavily indebted to Blondie's 'Heart of Glass', serves as a euphoric, disco-tinged rejection of suburban conformity. It remains one of the most beloved and sonically vibrant tracks in their entire catalog.
