There is a lot to enjoy about this new album from the duo Nate Amos and Rachel Brown. Everyone?s Crushed has that experimental bite and charm that many new rock records seem to lack. Plus, the constant change from more artistic instrumentation to psychedelic haze feels well-placed. However, this album suffers from being a rather dry listening experience that is very unmemorable. It is definitely fine when it is on, and even tracks like ?Barley? and ?True Life? have an unsettling nature to them to keep you engaged, but most of what is presented here is not all that interesting. Plus, it just ends out of nowhere which is a bit jarring.
