Didn't expect any kind of farewell record from them - I finally accepted that the mid Near To The Wild Heart Of Life would be their final statement. In the end, even though Fate & Alcohol doesn't attain their first two record's youthfulness (the guys ain't young anymore!!), it feels much more right to let the celebration rock die on its own term.

"Chicago" sounds like a rejected B-side off of The Bear, which gives me pause as to whether
this swansong release is purely for contractual obligations to ANTI Records. But seeing as
we haven't heard a peep from them in four years, any sort of official retirement is
appreciated.
EDIT post-release: Yep, very much a did-it-for-the-label kind of release. But at least the
stereogum interview adds useful context to fill where some of the lyrics and vocal
production are lacking
