Clumsy

High-register falsetto soaring over gritty, melodic guitars. A landmark of Canadian alternative rock that balances radio-ready hooks with surreal, intellectual angst.

It's the record with those crazy high vocals and the 'Superman's Dead' song that perfectly captures 90s angst.

A high-tension blend of suburban boredom and explosive existential release.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The sudden shift from the jittery, anxious verse to the massive, soaring falsetto hook in Superman's Dead.

The vulnerable, stripped-back acoustic opening of 4am that builds into a heavy, cathartic full-band release.

The way the guitars swirl and feedback during the bridge of Carnival, creating a dizzying, psychedelic atmosphere.
