    This may be one of the most depressing albums released all year, but it's also one of indie rock's most surprisingly melodic and historically aware.

    The album is a quantum leap for the band sonically, conjuring all the right ghosts of rock's past while infusing enough strut and swagger to compensate for their blatant cribbing. [May 2011, p.84]

    Little has changed for Crystal Stilts since 2008's Alight of Night, though maybe the guitars cheered up a bit. That's A-OK; they come through with such a sort of oblivious, Suicide-meets-Spiritualized feel, you'll be in love, too.
