Second Nature

Slow moving but dynamic emotional rock that crawls out in a perfect rhythm, and then slides into sharp energy that cuts the tips of your fingers. This band has been putting out music for over ten years, and it shows. The musicians play with and off each other, curving vocals effortlessly around careening guitar waves, and the rhythm section moves from a dirge dance to a celebration of life with a simple roll click crash. This album, sharing some moments with members of Shallow, Casket Lottery, and Frogpond, also takes on some nice recording points thanks to Ed Rose, who’s worked with The Get-Up Kids, The Anniversary, and more.
