  This is the outlier in the Spoon catalog - it's messy and unpredictable where so much of the band's lore had been built on sharp precision. The album strips everything down to something rougher and stranger. Room noise, abrupt edits, and skeletal arrangements give the songs an uneasy intimacy. Britt Daniel sounds emotionally distant but psychologically exposed underneath the restraint. It’s one of the band’s most understated records, and one of their most revealing.
