  The self-titled album expands the band’s maximalist indie-rock approach into something even more chaotic and collaborative. Songs constantly threaten to dissolve into noise or collective improvisation before snapping back into melody. “Ibi Dreams of Pavement” and “7/4 (Shoreline)” capture the group’s ability to make enormous arrangements feel emotionally loose and human. The record’s sprawl becomes part of its appeal. Even the messiest moments feel energized by collective enthusiasm. It’s one of the defining documents of mid-2000s indie-rock ambition.
