The deluxe edition of son of dad includes accoustic versions of about half the tracklist, which is where Stephen Wilson Jr. really shines for me. I ain’t never seen someone play guitar like that before.

This album is about complicated time signatures and the end of the world. I don’t think there’s a bad song on the record and the sequencing is perfect.

Emotional (Emo) is the correct modifier for this rock album about loss, heartbreak, grief, breakdown, resilience, and hope. This is guitar forward Emo with Hardcore inspired drum fills and poetry that bears repeated listens.
