Slang

A gritty, stripped-back pivot toward 90s alternative. Gone are the massive vocal stacks, replaced by dry drums, sitars, and a restless, organic vulnerability.

It's the one where they stopped being a stadium cartoon and started being a real 90s band.

A restless and somber exploration of identity that trades stadium anthems for gritty, organic vulnerability.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The jarring, industrial-influenced percussion loop that opens Truth? signaling an immediate break from the past.

The psychedelic sitar drones on Turn to Dust that replace the band's usual polished synth layers.

The stark, vulnerable vocal delivery on the bridge of All I Want Is Everything where the harmonies are noticeably absent.
