-          Debut LP of 3.

-          One of the greatest independent rock bands of the past 20 years.

-          One of my favorite songs.

-          Debut LP.

-          Debut EP, EP1 was a highlight of 2013.

-          Reminiscent of Modest Mouse and Frog Eyes, but most for the still-wounded Wolf Parade fans.

-          "You've taken some heavy hits in your time, you've been in some fierce grips, but the heart of a wrestler never submits.
