Opener “Canned Food Demons” layers compelling riffs on top of each other, building up to a rousing chorus featuring a brilliantly restrained vocal performance from Pollard.

Ward has made a name for himself at the national level, bringing his distinctive fingerstyle guitar, lush musical arrangements, and reverb-drenched vocal melodies to a wide audience. In 2008, M.
