“What’s In It For?” ponders the mostly-teenage collective on the album’s second track. The answers found are numerous and they unfold via guitar solos from the School of Nels Cline, through dirty, adolescent pillow talk (“Summer Cum”), and in poeticism (“One Last”) that obliges compulsory listens. Continue to muse, and this strange, wonderfully unexpected work of art becomes one of the most mature (and stirring) narratives on intimacy, fidelity, and hesitant honesty heard in a long while.
