Ex-Fugazi drummer Brendan Canty (here playing guitar and singing) and Blowoff’s Rich Morel (here playing keys and singing) offer up a small, diverse, often darkly reverbed collection of mature cool.
A solid handful of releases to their credit, “In the Branches” is one of many classy tunes that show emo and hardcore tendencies, matured by time and talent.
Members of Get Up Kids, fun, New Amsterdams, Kevin Devine, and Ghosty, but it’s more synth indie pop than indie rock, with Suzannah Johannes’ sweet voice.
Ian MacKaye (Minor Threat, Fugazi, Embrace, Dischord Records, etc.) and former Warmers drummer Amy Farina. Still naturally catchy in that stripped-down way.
