A more concise, direct, and vocally clear effort than their first two albums. The Austin TX bands 3rd full length features shorter songs and less instrumental preludes. This is Indie Rock at its most hypnotic, beautiful and droned out. I personally prefer the later releases, but this is where you start feel band starting to find their place.
