From the second album 'Suspended Animation' - out June 10 via Exploding In Sound Records; recorded by Titus Andronicus guitarist Adam Reich with Dan Arnes producing himself - Brooklyn's experimental power-pop trio share another single cut of grungy guitar, distorted arpeggios alongside Arnes' soft, melodic vocal.
