* Album reviews are composed only after a few listens. Yes, opinions may change over time, but most first impressions (un)fortunately seem to hold true. I wish I was creative enough to write a proper review, but I've failed miserably in the past. Here's the next best thing, I hope.

Standout Tracks: Generator ^ 1st Floor / Ghosting / Generator ^ 2nd Floor


I pretty much have the same reaction with the record as I did seeing them live. Starts off super strong with "Generator ^ 1st Floor" and then a major let down. Granted a few other tunes are all right, but I kind of get an impression that they are trying too hard to sound poppy. Weathervanes is out today via Frenchkiss/Mom + Pop.
