FROM CASEY: Bologna as it is, I’m writing this little blurb about our DEBUT while Jesse is behind me in the control room, arranging bass on our third [strong suit apparent?]. Still, I couldn’t imagine a better first release. In some ways, Pale King feels more new and more relevant than our recent stuff. It’s a doozy of a record. It’s a concept album about day jobs that’s tight and goes somewhere and, still, headiness aside, is this wonderful, big, fat, honest complaint about the way it feels to be part of the awkward working class in the US at the moment.
