Tally All the Things That You Broke

Five tracks of jittery, bone-dry art punk. Sharp guitar angles collide with deadpan poetry and unexpected, danceable grooves.

October 8, 2013 · Rough Trade

Find on Amazon

A nervous, highly caffeinated burst of urban skepticism and rhythmic playfulness.

Moments Worth Listening For
The frantic, high-pitched harmonica blast that pierces through the opening seconds of You've Got Me Wonderin' Now.
The sudden transition into a loose, cowbell-driven hip-hop groove on the sprawling final track He's Seeing Paths.
