Melancholy and anxious, but never really sad, indie rock that makes use of post-punk elements. Overall it feels pretty atmospheric for the genre and makes nice use of synth, loud bass and strings in addition to the more standard indie rock instrumentation. The vocals are what really standout on 'Every Bad'. Dana Margolin is very intense, dramatic and in your face and fails to every lose your attention with this expressive approach. On the flipside this intensity remains constant for most of the 41 minutes and the lyrics are often, purposefully, extremely repetitive. Something you do once or twice and it is fine but that gets done a bit too many times here. With a bit more attention to songwriting and sonic variation it wouldn't surprise me at all to see an excellent release coming from Porridge Radio, the tools are there.
