Emotional indie rock that isn't straight-up emo. Rather, the emotional discharge come from the instruments' slow ascension. You can hear many indie rock bands in this albums, but all these influences - ie Manchester Orchestra or The Dangerous Summer - come together in a very personal way. Tight drumming, vocals that go within seconds from whispers to shouts a la Brand New, mostly melodic guitars: gud indie rock. However, while the climaxes are all damn cool, their construction and build-up sometimes leave me stoic.
