  The album sounds battered but communal, full of voices carrying on despite exhaustion and disappointment. Country, punk, and folk elements blur together naturally because the band treats all three as working-class music rather than separate genres. Songs like “Club Mekon” and “Waltz” balance bitterness with real affection for damaged people.
