What the label says:

BRAND NEW ALBUM FROM THE NUMBERS: THE SONGS ARE PENSIVE AND WORRY-STAINED, ALL MINIMAL, BLUNTLYENTRANCING RIFFS, INSISTENT DRUMMING, AND TENSE, REVERBERANT SYNTHESIZERS.THE FUTURISTIC PROPULSION OF KRAFTWERK FILTERED THROUGH THE RAW-KNUCKLEDROUGHNESS OF SUICIDE? SURPRISINGLY, THE MOST DISQUIETING ASPECT OF THE SONGSIS THEIR SUBTLE CHARM; THIRTEEN TRACKS OF DAZED AND CHARGED NEAR-COLLAPSETHAT UNEXPECTEDLY CATCH IN YOUR MIND, ECHOING THEIR HAUNTED BUZZ FOR DAYSAND WEEKS AFTER THE RECORD ENDS. NOT SINCE THE SLIVER APPLES HAS A BAND SO SUCCESSFULLY WEDDED A CACOPHONYOF ELECTRONIC KEYBOARDS WITH SUCH A CLEAR-VOICED POP SENSIBILITY. A SIGNIFICANT PART OF THIS CATCHINESS LIES IN THEVOCALS, IN THE FLOATING, HYPNOTIC LILT OF INDRA DUNIS AND IN THE TIMELESS, INTUITIVE HARMONIES LENT BY ERICLANDMARK AND DAVE BROEKEMA. THE WEAVE OF THEIR RAW, UPRIGHT VOICES LENDS A POIGNANT, UNFLINCHING ANDSTEADY GUIDE TO THE DOGGED, SWIRLING WAVES OF SOUND THAT PROPELS THE RECORD. AMID THE TUMULTUOUS, IRRESISTIBLEWAVES OF SOUND THAT DRIVES THE LAST MINUTES OF THE RECORD, THE ENTIRE WORLD SEEMS TO FALL AWAY IN THE FACE OFTHESE BRAVE, ALMOST SPIRITUAL VOICES ASKING, “WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU… WHAT HAPPENED TO ME?“ SUCH ACHE, SUCHURGENCY; NUMBERS DRAW A LINE FROM THE HONEST CLARITY OF TRADITIONAL AMERICAN MUSIC LIKE THE CARTER FAMILYTHROUGH THE TROUBLED POUNDING OF TODAY, CREATING A PHENOMENAL, APPROPRIATELY DARK VISION OF TOMORROW’S POPMUSIC.
