Black Is the New Black

A muscular return to form featuring the heaviest guitar tones of the band's career. Aggressive, distorted, and unapologetically loud alternative rock.

Everclear finally stopped being polite and turned the guitars back up to eleven.

A gritty, high-octane reclamation of rock energy that balances cynicism with a hard-won sense of survival.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive opening riff of Sugar Noise that signals a much heavier direction than their previous decade of work.
The way the vocals strain and break during the climactic chorus of The Man Who Broke His Own Heart.
The sprawling, five-minute slow burn of Safe which closes the album with uncharacteristic atmospheric depth.
