  Such a cool record - chiming guitars, dry wit, melodies that drift like cigarette smoke. It feels casual until you realize how perfectly constructed it is. Dean Wareham sings with dry detachment while the guitars circle around each other in long, hypnotic lines. Songs like “Slash Your Tires” and “Hey Sister” move with understated confidence instead of dramatic release. Indie rock rarely sounded this self-assured right out of the gate (granted Wareham had spent years in Galaxie 500 honing his craft).
