Aside from our OCD dislike of mis-capitalised song titles this great new album is a good counter to the often heard ‘truism’ that rock is dead. This is fresh sounding, melodic and varied rock ranging from great synth-ey and accessible numbers like the title track to more ‘full on’ songs like BIRDS that just push our boundaries of hardcore. An excellent collection from the Baltimore band. Pitchfork capture it perfectly in their review headline:
The biggest band in hardcore grows big enough to encompass electronic rhythms and flute meditation. Its new album winks to outsize expectations but answers to a higher calling”
