What their label says...

The record that resulted from these sessions is a delicious cocktail of the raw and the sweet, brittle buzzsaw guitars chiming tunes heavy with nagging melody and crackling emotion, the bulldozer rhythm section delivering the angst-fused dynamics, a rocket-propelled mess of low-end and clatter. Above this melee, Powell’s vocal, honeyed and broken, recalling Chan Marshall’s warm disquiet, and Juliana Hatfield’s bright clarity. “Some people think our music is really upbeat, others think it’s real sombre. I like to let people take what they want from the music.” The truth is, the songs are both upbeat and sombre, sometimes at the same time, which is why they’re so addictively delicious: heartbreak and hope, set to soaring melody and explosive noise. Perfect rock’n’roll.
