  This album sounds like years of frustration compressed into fifty minutes. “Hopeless,” “She Sends Kisses,” and “Happy” are deliberately messy — overloaded with vocals, tape hiss, emotional spillover, and tiny melodic details that reveal themselves slowly. Few indie rock records capture adult disappointment with this much intensity without becoming self-pitying.
