    The nervous, blemished energy of Forth Wanderers is gripping with heaping amounts of charm, bitterness, sarcasm, and unease in the right proportions, making our insecurities stare back at us.

    Trilling’s lyrics are the glue that holds together this powerful but vulnerable album.

    The joyfully raucous Forth Wanderers bears testament to just how well the distance formula is working.

    This may be billed as their second album, but for those who haven’t been keeping up, it's a great introduction to an exciting young band fully-formed. With it, they may be joining the hallowed halls of the Sub Pop roster, but they don’t look out of place.

    Altogether, it's a rock-solid set, notable for good songs as well as a distinctive if simultaneously throwback sound.

    Bringing together two parallel creative paths, the result is an irresistible tautness that shapes their entire first full-length, angular lines competing with Trilling’s diary scribble writing; her vulnerable admissions bolstered by a serious punch.

    Forth Wanderers, their Sub Pop debut, feels like the end of the montage and the beginning of something real.

    Already Forth Wanderers ooze the confidence and candidness to make themselves major players in their indie-pop sphere.
