With their fourth album, Seattle indie folk rockers offer up a lively set of tunes infused with a joy and lightheartedness not seen from them before now. The rootsy group made up of ex-hardcore and emo players from bands like and always kept a little bit of punk edge for even their most rustic tunes with, but with, that sharpness is all but gone, replaced not with a mellow resignation but a softer sort of excitement. Songs like 'Canopy' and 'Have to Pretend' are sheer, sunshiny happiness, with major-key melodies floating on top of snaky guitar leads and rolling rhythms. Vocalist 's raspy croon is filled with ambitious hopefulness, brushing his punk-schooled folk vocals with just enough country twang to hint at a happier, relaxed perspective for the singer and the band's sound in general. There have been some developments between the sometimes more haunted, earlier albums and the 12 freewheeling tracks that make up.

2011's eclectic saw the band opting for a more electrified sound, blasting apart the more campfire-friendly fare of their first two albums. Leans closer to the earlier sound, but the inclusion of new bassist (who also does time as the bassist in ) adds a depth that wasn't there before. 's tropical, almost noodly bass grooves on songs like 'Shine' transform what could be simple folk tunes into a more celebratory thing, pushing toward a far more toned-down version of 's. The upbeat alt-country jangle of 'Easy Way' evokes both the most countrified moments of early. As well as the bright-eyed innocence of -era. The band hasn't strayed too far from what made it successful in its beginnings, but with, they've shifted their energy into producing the aural equivalent of a cloudless summer day.
