Musical anachronism and explicit influences. Faithful copy or reworking of their own musical ancestors. Rivers of words, mostly useless.
The Sioux Falls fit into the category of nineties revival. Gaze and ears mostly turned towards Modest Mouse and Built To Spill.
It may be a coincidence, but the singer/guitarist is named Isaac (Eiger) and his voice is reminiscent of (quite) a bit of another Isaac, more famous than him.
You can talk about: "Dom" with the final chorus akin to Weezer, "Copy/Paste" with its 7 minutes of ascending climax and emotional emo peak of the album, "In Case It Gets Lost" reminiscent of Modest Mouse and "Practice Space" reminiscent of Built To Spill, "San Francisco Earthquake" sung by a "whole bunch of *~semi-ok~* people". But you'd be leaving out other gems like the other 11 tracks.
16 tracks that you listen to and start wondering when the bad ones (or at least the less convincing ones) will come, then you realize the album is over.
72 minutes, but they flow like a wonder.
The songs of "Rot Forever" live in the past and feel familiar. But it's that familiar feeling that's nice, certainly nice from the perspective of someone who would have loved to experience the musical nineties in the USA.
