[1] The band members include Alex Tween (vox, keyboards) and Matt Walsh (drums, sequencers).
The album was recorded with legendary producer Steve Albini (Nirvana, Pixies, P. J. Harvey) at the helm.
[3] In 2011, they released their first EP, Derealization, which featured The National’s Matt Berninger on vocals, as well as Shudder to Think’s Craig Wedren.
At the time of the debut release, reviews were generally very positive,[5] and critics compared the band favorably to early-emo rock group Sunny Day Real Estate.

[T]hese guys make a virtue out of attention-deficit disorder.
