Album holds up well a month later.

Dissolve me is a terrible track that should be burned with fire.

I saw them live. It was like a 40 minute set that ended before midnight, even with them headlining. But I blame the venue.

Saw them with a bunch of bands for 5 bucks awhile back. My wife and daughter both love their broom-shaped snatch pleasure.

One of the best albums of 2012. No else like these cats. Truly original stuff.

two of the three songs released from the upcoming album have been great. not a huge fan of "left hand free" but "every other freckle" and "hunger of the pine" are both dope. seeing these guys in november on their tour. heard nothing but good things about their shows

Live show is too good. "Left Hand Free" sounds like they were trying to make a song for a MasterCard commercial.

I've only listened to the new album once, it was ok. That first album is such heat though.

Yeah, a bit disappointed with this. Every song sounds like it's an intro to something.

yeah this album is pretty underwhelming, especially compared to the first. couple good songs but lots of ambient boring non-build up ish
