On songs that range from the tragic realism of Heroin Girl to the lyricism of Queen of the Air, Alexakis and his bandmates, bassist Craig Montoya and drummer Greg Eklund, manage to combine introspection with raw power. "This record is about getting out of bad situations," says Alexakis, a former cocaine user who gave up drugs 12 years ago, and says he's been clean ever since (he's now married and has a three-year-old daughter...
