This isn’t just a sonically daring swing of a rock album, it’s a very human document of being at your worst when you should be on top—an absurdist guide to the intersection of self-destruction and self-belief.
Oklahoma's Ben Quad takes a bold step forward, dialing back the breakneck chaos of their debut in favor of something softer, more expansive, and emotionally resonant.
The album was produced by the multi-Grammy Award winning Ariel Rechtshaid (Vampire Weekend, Haim, Adele) and contains 10 tracks informed by everything from lo-fi post-punk to indie-folk to early-'90s dance-pop psychedelia.
The 21-track set also includes a live version of "Tomorrow Is a Long Time" along with a live take of "The Mighty Quinn (Quinn the Eskimo)," plus "I Shall Be Released," "Down in the Flood," and "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" from The Basement Tapes.
