Since 2023's Everyone's Crushed—their Matador debut and critical breakthrough, which appeared on year-end lists from The New York Times, The Guardian, Pitchfork, NME, and more—the band has become a mainstay of NYC's alternative music scene. The new record carries a consistent sense that they've honed their curveballs into home runs. Soaring and melancholic, wide-eyed and petrified—it's Blade Runner with a touch of WALL-E, it's Kubrick and Asimov with a hint of Jay and Silent Bob.
