  The album’s roughness became part of its appeal almost immediately. Alec Ounsworth’s bizarre, high-pitched vocals and the band’s twitchy art-rock arrangements gave the songs unusual personality and nervous energy. Tracks like “The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth” feel homemade in a way that suited the internet-era indie explosion perfectly. Beneath the awkwardness are genuinely strong melodies and sharp rhythmic instincts. The record sounds excited by its own possibilities. It captured a moment when indie rock still felt unpredictable and communal.
