After a decade away and Janet Weiss's brutal 2019 car accident, Quasi's tenth album finds the Portland duo transmuting physical trauma into their signature blend of sardonic fury and art-punk rigour. Sam Coomes's Rocksichord still churns through angular riffs whilst Weiss pounds out rhythms that refuse easy consolation.

The title's aggressive wordplay signals their unchanged appetite for political mockery, but mortality now haunts the margins. Sub Pop's faith in these veterans proves warranted: resilience here sounds less like triumph than stubborn, necessary defiance.
