Aug 11, 2018Though "French Navy" is my only real favorite of the album, I'd still use this as background music like during shopping and the such. I still love their overall sound, their imagery, and the feeling the music inspires.

My Maudlin Career is the kind of record that exists to reward those both mad, and sad, in love.
