This post-pandemic release is the first installment of songs we have written and performed within the past few years. From tales of working and trying to keep it all together ("The Heavy After Hours") to the loss of time and delusional perception ("Magic Mushrooms At The Mall") to the mindfulness of treating people right ("Unstoppable"), and the success of nonviolent protest against oppressive systems (“Throw That Weight (Wait Around”).

Sidenote: Shoutouts to American University for allowing us the opportunity to record at your facility.

Special Thanks: Jared Blair, Jack Dell, Matt Twiford
