Pardoner

Description:

Pardoners fifth album further evolves the slack rock sound theyve been pursuing for over a decade, armed with sharp guitars, powerful drums, and catchy yet thoughtful lyrics. It offers a modern take on 80s and 90s college rock, delivering a sound reminiscent of the noisier sides of Flying Nun, Smudge, and Yo La Tengo. Toning down the sudden blast beats and complex arrangements found on previous albums like *Came Down Different* and *Peace Loving People*, the album consists of 10 straightforward tracks. While interweaving lighthearted sarcasm and satire, the album also weaves in criticism of pseudo-intellectual high art and the music scene, as well as self-criticism.
