About the album

Molly Rankin and Alec O'Hanley's Toronto band took their time with their third album, working with producer Shawn Everett and recording much of it in long, live takes. The result is their fullest, most exhilarating record: shoegaze swirl, jangling guitars and Rankin's sweet, soaring melodies.

"Pharmacist" kicks off in a rush, "After the Earthquake" and "Easy on Your Own?" are giddy, "Belinda Says" is a soaring anthem, and "Tom Verlaine" is a love letter to the Television guitarist. A modern Canadian indie classic.
