One of the next generation’s leading prospects releases its first full-length album. UNISON SQUARE GARDEN steadily expands its audience through overwhelming live performances. The talents of these three young musicians finally come together in a world of originality that belongs to no other existing band.

The album moves from solid rock with a fullness of sound that seems impossible for three players, through danceable party songs with electro-pop arrangements, to sentimental mid-tempo numbers. The breadth and strength of each song, and the album’s structure and unfolding momentum, create a roller-coaster experience. Yet the individual stories blend together into an original world embracing both rock and pop.

New recording collaborators bring out the band’s two sides: complex, precise, aggressive speed and expansive, nostalgic melody. Their craftsmanship weaves both into a vivid whole, completing the first phase of the UNISON sound. The continuing art direction and paper-cut imagery extend the visual world established with the debut single, expressing the band’s distinctive musical character.
