Because of the Times
A sprawling transition from garage-rock grit to wide-screen arena ambition. Reverb-heavy guitars and raspy vocals meet a newfound sense of atmospheric space.

Cinematic transition
Cavernous, reverb-drenched spaces replace the tight, dry rooms of the band's past, signaling a dramatic expansion into cinematic alternative rock. This third outing trades jittery garage-punk for a dark, Southern Gothic atmosphere where towering guitar textures and brooding, restless tempos stretch the songs into expansive, atmospheric shapes. The vocal performance shifts from a slurred mumble into a piercing, desperate howl, capturing a group that is suddenly too vast for small clubs but still haunted by the shadows of their origins.
Defiant saturates this record notably more than the artist's norm.
