User Profile

First album from literary American folk-rock in six years is highly ambitious and full of collaborative spirit. Theyve added jangle-pop and Beach Boy harmonies into the mix this time. Sequenced as four sonic “islands", the album combines storytelling, epic song construction and numerous choruses with tight-knit songs that are both playful and pointed. Whille cramming two decades worth of material in, they still sound fresh and focused. They take the listener on an emotive journey, reflecting on mortality and loneliness, longing and cynicism, expectation and unease. The album also features The Shins' James Mercer.
