A story odyssey of sorts told in ten parts, ten songs - each track essentially a character - Dead Kids..., produced by David Trumfio (Built To Spill, Wilco, OK Go) and mastered by the legendary Howie Weinberg (The Cure, Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana), explores, through a beguiling mix of personal memory, allegory, and narrative structures by turns both poetic and stinging, a long and complicated relationship with a dark version of Portland OR. Its songs that tell of the fractured and fragile legacies of those lost during the citys last couple decades as it moves from soggy backwater to unheard of growth and tech-fueled transformation
