Ed Coad

Brilliant and helps me get to grips with the idea I'm not going mad. Seems that, even though I've not been to church in 40 years, expecting healthcare for everyone, expecting kids to not go hungry and maybe a little more tax from those who can afford it makes me more aligned to Jesus than 75% of Americans.

This is a masterful, thoughtful, complex and agonisingly heartfelt love-song to a friend and a mother. This is a collective effort by a group of friends to support each other in the aftermath of the most unimaginably difficult year. Without a doubt, a record made by the band for the band, but this means everyone else gets to marvel at their craftsmanship and appreciate a new level of composition which, sadly, only comes from tragedy. This a different, deeper, almost concept-like album that kicks butt and reaffirms the Foos as the only band in town.
