Great Band, Great Music

"You can compare these guys to a lot of truly great contempory rock acts...REM, Interpol, The New Pornographers, Wilco. I think they speak for themselves. And nowhere better than on this one. Intense but focused energy, solid alt rock grooves, self-effacing humor in the lyrics, and the boldness to occasionally open up the sound into arena-rock land. They're a phenomenal live act, and I'm thrilled they're putting their best feet forward on Slow Politics. Unabashedly Recommended."
