Tonight, the band will be doing a Reddit AMA on the r/music channel at 6:30p.m. EST. Tune in and ask them a question HERE. Of the album, Associated Press raves, “a superb slice of indie rock, varied, exciting and complex, with elements of glam, straight-down-the-line rock and dreamy pop,” while Under the Radar praises, “the most vital and consistent the band has sounded in over a decade.” The band recently debuted a new, ongoing pirate radio series, featuring the five-piece in conversation.
