    Another high quality release from the Dallas area. Utilizing the flange guitar sound very effectively, these tunes plod along a little quicker than melancholy indie rock and are a tad more commercial than a lot of emo. Forging this middle-ground gives them a unique sound that's very listenable and should get them a larger fanbase than either of those genres alone (kinda like how Stavesacre has forged their own sound). You should be hearing more from these guys.
