Their self-titled debut record came out in 2012 which, as The New Yorker describes it, was “One of the year’s best albums…a punishing, noisy, exhilarating thing.” Their newest release, Strange Peace, is no different and, as the band put it, it allows you "to feel something, fiercely and intensely, but together, not alone." Tickets are available at Crash, Jumbo and See Tickets.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPG2aQXeZoM
