Wake Up, Wake Up

I’ve been listening to the new Relient K album non-stop for three days. It’s so good.

I feel Thiessen’s lyrics have kept missing me with each release– they’re either over my head, or in my past. Air For Free is the first album that matches everything I’m thinking and playing with in my head. I can’t get enough of Man, or Bummin’, or Local Construction, and words are just the tip of the iceberg. Inside each track is a complex musical production that’s been being built since the Is For Karaoke EPs and draws on classic rock themes and melodies for inspiration and perfection. It’s a wonderful album, and I can’t recommend it enough.
