And The Horse You Rode In On

Rock's bread and butter is romantic tragedy. This album takes all that, crushes it up and emerges with something new, crisp, compelling and incredibly intelligent. Sure, they rock, but they also read. "A compelling romantic tragedy packaged in crumbled wrapping paper as if it were a discarded gift. Except, those songs are something to hold onto tightly for their poetry, bitterness, and literate, sometimes biting, lines... It's a touch of Morrissey backed up by a soused Colin Meloy (Decemberists.)" - PRESENT MAGAZINE
