I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass

A sprawling, encyclopedic collection of indie rock that moves from ten-minute feedback jams to hushed piano ballads and horn-drenched soul.

It's like a giant, warm hug that occasionally gets interrupted by a ten-minute guitar freakout.

A sprawling and affectionate survey of musical styles that balances domestic warmth with sudden bursts of noise.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The relentless, ten-minute motorik groove of the opening track that feels like a trance-inducing highway drive.

The surprising shift into Curtis Mayfield-style falsetto and brass on Mr. Tough.

The way the feedback slowly dissolves into a gentle piano melody during the final twelve-minute epic.
