Sad Sour Future

To say that The Poison Control Center's Sad Sour Future is one of the finest albums you will hear this year is such a misguided response to its soaring ambition that we might as well pack it in right now. These four songwriters hauled over forty songs a collective 1500 miles from their respective homes to a turn of the century schoolhouse on the Mississippi River filled with analog recording equipment.

The result is a double-album encompassing the motions and emotions of separation, loss, and the struggles of leaving your twenties behind and growing older in your own skin.
