"Comfortably exceptional."
All Our Exes Live In Texas currently offer arguably the best live music experience in the country.
When We Fall is the alt-country quartet's long-awaited debut album. Does it match that standard? No. (Few things do.) But, it's still comfortably exceptional. The band have a knack for writing songs that feel like old classics without feeling nostalgic. The emotions are present and real. The album's shortcoming is that it isn't a very dynamically crafted long-player. It's just 12 good songs. But, that's a good complaint to have for a debut. Bring on the next one.
