New Ways To Lose continues that journey, blending working-class observations, hard-earned hope, heartbreaking ballads, and the kind of songwriting that reminds me why American Aquarium remains one of my favorite bands. Another early Album of the Year contender. Continue reading American Aquarium – New Ways To Lose (Review)
