also, to close the thought on this this post-rock band from boston...

i mentioned that it sounded more like an inversion of post-rock influenced punk and was more in the lineage of deftones, and then pointed out that i hadn't heard their previous records.

i have now heard their previous records, and they're pretty generic post-rock. ergh.

there's clearly a big pivot here on this record, and we'll see where it takes them, but i was actually expecting the opposite and am kind of taken off guard by the truth of it. i'm not sure how exciting a show would have been.

so, i'm scratching this one off the list, as well, meaning....

....might i have stayed inside all may, anyways?
