Martin C A stellar 2nd album from Giant Drag and a deceptively sweet one at that! Back to back beautiful songs, an absolute joy to listen to.

Patrick McGaha So far so good. I’ve just returned from Pluto and never realized anything was released post Swan Song. I definitely get the pop melody vibe others have mentioned. First listen reminded of STPs Tiny Music album. Pleased to have something new(for me) to listen to. Sending positive vibes into the universe to Annie, Micah, and Goostine too.
Bandcamp is the shit. Favorite track: Won't Come Around.

Alex McFarlane Love this new album, I think Annie sounds more spirited and carefree here than on H&U (which I love), However, despite the playful, almost pop-like melodies of a large part of this album, the bittersweet undercurrent that seems to be a characteristic of Annie's songwriting is there for all to see. These elements combine to make an album that is both emotionally raw and pleasing to the ear.

Favorite track right now is 90210, it has a little of everything Giant Drag in a gorgeous upbeat tune

Acoustic and stripped down, these high-quality recordings and the accompanying foreward by Joe Cardamone give an inside, personal look into the process of creating the album.
