2023 Original Comments:

crow's nest is a noisy and somewhat lofi approach to Midwest Screamo. The distorted guitar attempts a wall of sound of sorts, even when riffing, and the vocalist's throaty hardcore screams aid in that goal. However, moments of serene Midwest Emo pepper this release to give the harshness a well-deserved reprieve.

2026 Addendum:

I’ve gone on to listen to this band a ton more since I reviewed this release in 2023, and in doing so, my appreciation for this has gone up. After hearing the depraved depths of DIY lofi production the last couple of years, this actually has quite good lofi production that never seems to work against them. The fifth wave ridiculousness is still ever-present, giving this fun record an even more memorable presence.
