The quintessential song on the band's debut album So Gone is "Hello Jenn, I'm A Mess," which swings wildly between sloppy jangle and twee twinkle, before ending with a woozy, sad coda graced by a thick, soft bassline.

So Gone is spacious and expansive, but also oddly tactile-- the sonic details aren't purposefully introduced, they just intrude when they feel like it.

So Gone definitely feels like a debut in that the group doesn't really sound like they know exactly what they want to do.

It sounds like more of a case of mistaken identity where the band is trying in some cases to be something it just is not.
