I used to get too self-conscious thinking about music too long and unapologetically. No Age understands, and these songs stand as irrefutable testimony to keep playing, keep listening and maybe even enjoy some things in life.
Their songs last an average of two very expressive minutes of breakaways and sentimental meanderings. Just two players here, guitar and drums, with a commonality of triumphant fuzz. Like saying: stop overanalyzing and just play. As though they’d escaped the trappings of labels like DIY or lo-fi or all-ages, and instead herald them as superior virtues. The vocals affirm: “With passion it’s true.”
