    The band’s overall approach feels less frantic and needling, more expansive and sinuous [than 2022's Comradely Objects]. The addition of further guest musicians Madison Greenstone on bass clarinet and Weston Olencki on trombone to the core quartet of Max Eilbacher (bass), Andrew Bernstein (sax), Owen Gardner (guitar), and Sam Haberman (drums) only makes the album’s sound palette even richer.

    There is a beautifully down-to-earth aspect to this record, and Horse Lords seem keenly aware of and confident in their signature sound while still finding ways to keep it fresh and unique.

    It's the first time that singing has appeared on a Horse Lords recording. But while shape note singing requires no electricity, Saylor and Guo's voices have been so liberally dipped in AutoTune that the words are indistinguishable. [Jul 2026, p.49]
