The Alps continue to stay a step ahead of the pack with their twin weapons: recording every kind of shitty reverb and Mike Donovan's candy-colored songwriting. This double-long slab therefore makes room for a zebra's worth of stripes in both those categories. You get a chance to go through 'em all slow. Marvel at the many ways that a strum can sound both acoustic and overdriven right at the same time, soak in Donovan's sunny falsetto 7ths, or try & figure out Noel Von Harmonson's zippers of guitar.
