Jul 13, 2016Rot Forever is one of the most under-the-radar experiences you'll have this year
-
Mar 2, 2016The massive Rot Forever gives Sioux Falls the capacity to be both: both sensitive and aggressive, messy and precise, cloyingly retro and fiercely modern. They can, for the most part, be everything all at once.
-
Mar 2, 2016Potential runtime issues aside, Rot Forever is a great record.
-
Mar 2, 2016Sioux Falls' battles between disenchantment, sadness, joy, and rage are easily strong enough to support an album half this size, but at 16 tracks--with six of them over six minutes long--it's just too hard to stay invested.
-
Mar 2, 2016At a certain point the album's dynamics become routine, all of the energies produced by the band hit the ear neutrally, and Rot Forever begins to rot itself, softly melting into a background, not of its own accord but by something built into its nature.
