Low in High School

Polished, theatrical rock that trades personal heartbreak for global cynicism. A dense mix of electric piano, horns, and a baritone that sounds more defiant than ever.

It's the record where he stops singing about his bedroom and starts singing about the news, but with way more horns.

A defiant and cynical broadcast from a world in perceived decline, delivered with theatrical polish.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The jaunty, almost carefree electric piano riff of Spent the Day in Bed contrasting with its message of total withdrawal.

The sudden, dramatic shift into a Spanish-influenced guitar flare during The Girl from Tel-Aviv Who Wouldn't Kneel.

The seven-minute slow-burn intensity of I Bury the Living as it transforms from a dirge into a scathing critique.
