Description/Reviews:

New Axial Age is a strong debut for this Texan quintet. It’s melodic, sophisticated, and emotional without being overwrought. The post-hardcore influence is present but muted, and this is a wonderfully balanced, diverse album. A few songs feel a little long, and there were one or two which were decent but just failed to stick with me. Overall, though, this earns a strong recommendation.
