"post-punk band from chicago", nowadays, conjures up something fairly nihilistic, and this conforms to the stereotype on first listen. but, a few listens in, and the record starts to feel a little less aggressive, even pulling in influences from the likes of la dispute. historically speaking, this is far from novel, but it's a little unexpected at this particular point in time. so, if you tend to like your nihilistic chicago post-punk to have a vaguely goth flair, this might be for you.

i'm not going to get out there this week, myself.
