"The band takes more risks with its
newer material; the songwriting is more confident and assured, and the musicians play with tempo and texture to sublimely satisfying results. “Halflife of a Promise,” perhaps the most ambitious cut off of “None of This Ever Happened,”
slowly grows out of a piano line nto a wistful rocker; Statton’s vocals shone during Saturday’s rendition, treating the song with all the controlled intensity it deserved, and Reber’s backing vocal lines and harmonies locked in perfectly.
Other highlights of the show included “Red Valkyrie is About to Die,” a rocked-out song “about Nintendo” with crushing power chords from Chiger and a hot piano breakdown, and “The Jazz June,” a bittersweet power ballad marked by high guitar reverb, intense instrumental buildup led by Napiorski’s tight drumming
and polar volume changes."
