The music is a grab-bag of what he’s been listening to all his life.

They grabbed all the right people’s attention with their debut, and thankfully seemed to give zero fucks... and taking their raucous and infectious, beautifully scrappy folk punk to new heights that not even the hype could have predicted.

Gleeson has spent nearly 30 years establishing his own vocal sound, so why compromise it now? And on this first new studio album in a dozen years from The Angels, he hasn’t. It’s still Gleeson, but it’s also very obviously The Angels.
