Album Notes

This film offers a window into the 'live' recording process that resulted in the band's second studio album "Despair?". Employing a variety of visual styles, the filmmaker flips between polished beauty and gritty realism. But above all, he highlights the band's commitment to performance over studio trickery -- Keith Rivers pulls back the curtain to reveal a band that really plays.
