Fair Enough serves as a graceful exit for one of indie rock's most technically proficient outfits. It carries the weight of a final goodbye, yet it refuses to sound mournful. Instead, the music is bathed in the golden hour glow of a Pacific Northwest sunset. The interlocking guitar patterns that defined their career are present, but they are softened by a layer of sophisticated synth work that feels both modern and nostalgic. It is the sound of a band that has mastered its craft and is content to leave on its own terms.

Moments Worth Listening For
