From their critically acclaimed debut EP, Flight Risk, the band has captured audiences with their candor wrapped in wit. Both lyrically intimate and sonically vast, the band’s catalog is confessional and commentative, balancing irony with sincerity. They broach their biggest subjects yet on their first full length album, The Precariat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn economic term, the precariat refers to a growing class of people facing increasing instability. “Most people we know are experiencing an unprecedented level of precarity, permeating into the collective psyche. We feel like the best we could strive for in a body of work is an unflinching capture of the moment. The Precariat felt like the perfect title, and emblem of how it feels to be alive these days.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded in Los Angeles at Blue Canyon Studios, The Precariat was produced by band members Wynter Bethel and Tessa Mouzourakis, with co-production from Stephen Sesso, and executive production by Mike Crossey (The 1975, Wolf Alice, MUNA). The album’s songs were written by Bethel and Mouzourakis, over the tenure of their friendship, across apartments and tour vans, phone calls and late night conversations. With themes of friendship, coming of age, personal and collective grief, environmental uncertainty and political decay, The Precariat offers a sonic landscape in which to contend with our rapidly changing world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album’s title track (largely inspired by Springsteen’s critical narratives mistaken for bleeding heart patriotism) grapples with constant exposure to global suffering, and feeling entrenched within systems that fail us. “The Precariat” disintegrates into the ‘American cities’ outro, an idea started while the band lived in London, about missing home while watching it destabilize from afar. The Precariat faces this head on – all the sheen of the American empire has worn off, and there is much work to be done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“We hope to foster an antidote to precarity – community.”  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll Things Forgiven\u003cbr\u003eAngel in the House\u003cbr\u003eThief\u003cbr\u003eSlush Puppy\u003cbr\u003eAnomie\u003cbr\u003eTurbulence Over Canada\u003cbr\u003eGod Made Michigan\u003cbr\u003eRokeby Venus\u003cbr\u003eIn paradise, war is prevented by mothers\u003cbr\u003eVacuum\u003cbr\u003eThreat\u003cbr\u003eThe Precariat\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNOTES REGARDING VINYL PRESSING: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe images used are artist mock ups that are provided to the vinyl plant to match as closely as possible.
