Each song in this album almost sounds like it could be used for the soundtrack to a chase scene in an indie movie where a teenage girl runs away from authority figures for reasons explainable only to herself. There's a controlled chaos in their music - it's experimental enough to make you feel paranoid and take a second look at your surroundings while listening (That guy reading the newspaper at the table over from you at Starbucks? Might want to check again.), but not enough that you have to work to keep track of what's going on in each song. It's actually impressive how just listening to this album makes you tense up the slightest bit, and as each song ends and another begins a tiny shiver goes down your spine. I really can't get over the impact it has on you on your first listen.
You may need to be in a certain mood or running a mile to fully appreciate it, but I love how the album packages frenzy and sells it to you by the box. (or CD.)
Listen to it here.
