Frontier Ruckus @ The Ruby Lounge March 19, 2013

"Their songs are full of rich, rural details: frozen lakes, swaying trees, highway lights glowing in the deep night. Add to the mix baleful brass & trembling percussion & you’ve got the perfect recipe for Gothic Americana." Rolling Stone

Welcome to the expansive language of songwriter Matthew Milia. Welcome to a raw & unharnessed musicality. Welcome to the snowy television sets & plastic teenage trophies of suburban Detroit.

This LP is the embodiment of real things, real objects—a realness full of sad gladness & expiration dates. There's banjo on this record because David Jones' dad bought him that very banjo & lessons when he was 11. The trumpet you hear was dented by Zach Nichols' friend's saxophone in junior high band. The organ pulsing throughout was snatched by Matthew's father from a church going out of business. The thunderous nature of Ryan Etzcorn's drumming was informed by the quick tunes on glimmering punk cassette tapes of adolescence. The main guitar used to write these songs came out of a 70s weed deal. The specificity is endless and heartbreaking. This is the gorgeous & inevitable disintegration of all that we once knew ourselves by, blurring into the graininess of gradual dusk—the Eternity of Dimming.
