This album swims in some of the same waters as Modest Mouse\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AsnELWjsCsA\" target=\"_blank\">early 2000s chaos<\/a>, and is reminiscent at times of the echoing yelps of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SzjERZU3wbY\" target=\"_blank\">Frightened Rabbit<\/a>\u2019s Scott Hutchison.
