The album finds the band solidifying their unique blend of punk, noise, post-hardcore, post-punk, shoegaze, pop, and new wave over the course of nine gloriously chaotic tracks which see them getting existential, working toward self-acceptance, dealing with their demons, exploring relationships, and so much more.
