From the swamp magic of Alison Lang:

This time of year, as winter approaches, as the days lurch into longer, darker, heavier nights, it can be hard to keep your head up. It can be hard to care. Deep from the land of swamp magic come the Mouthbreathers, with nine joyful tunes that will worm their way into the sour core of your heart. These guys are preternaturally wise and yet sweetly raw, with a warm vitality thrumming beneath the surface. The lyrics are funny and friendly and wayyy too smart, and each song snaps like a whip, peppered with crunchy guitars and oddly heartfelt bon mots. It’s true, as singer/wordsmith Lucy Niles confesses on “Bender”, that some of us prefer songs about stuff, but it’s the deceptively simple stuff that feels like it matters — getting a crush and being a goof, loving your small town, yet dying to get out, getting baked and talking too much about your feels. The band says all of this is fine, and you will be fine. So stay here. Sit longer. Cherish the sweet, warming glow.
