Listening to all their records chronologically is fascinating. They start out a 4-piece band full of confidence and swagger, basically inventing "alt-country," then their drummer and 2nd guitarist leave, they aren't replaced, and everything gets slower and slower and more profoundly dismal

Their last 2 records before this one (Frozen and Notes Campfire) are exactly "meandering slower than sound with unusual music shapes and something to say"

Funny that Mason Jones would mention Caroliner as a contrast to TFUL that he preferred, since most of the members of TFUL were in Caroliner at that time
