Highlights:
“The band combines the jangling guitar sounds of artists like The Mountain Goats, My Morning Jacket and Lord Huron with the contentious clash of vocals—similar to Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy.”

“The band finds the middle ground between postmodern Built to Spill styled pop and the loose spacious jamming of Modest Mouse.”

“When you’re in a band, you really need to have the ideas that come from all of your different life experiences come together. That’s where your songs come from, that’s your music,” Watkins said.”
