Amazing.

"From "Detente in Four Movements", which sounds like garage band-meets-barbershop quartet(only it's nicely gender balanced) to "Moses", which sounds like a narrative of Exodus written by Joan Didion with jangly Byrds-ish guitar riffs it sounds so much like Suburban California, only it came from an Arlington, Virginia-based label.It's a shame that songs can't tell stories like they used to, and albums tend to be so homogeneous that you can't tell one song from the other. This album corrects that problem in abundance. Remarkable production, remarkable writing, remarkable vocals, and remarkable riffs.A must-buy for anyone with intelligent listening tastes."
