Arms is quite possibly the best song on an album full of great songs. While perhaps not the place to start your intrigue into June of 44's discography, Four Great Points is probably the easiest to grab hold of and enjoy, Tropics is certainly the album that should end up lodged in your disc player a few months later. A more intense record I dare you will not find. Not since Slint's Spiderland has a band nailed down that sound and vibe more perfectly. The mood here is anxious, eager and unrelenting.
Quiet spots are plentiful, beautiful and appropriate.
With members including guys from Codeine and Rodan, this band cannot lose.
