The same month that The Blood Brothers released the instant classic Burn Piano Island, Burn, they got back in the studio (this time with Sleater-Kinney/Bikini Kill producer John Goodmanson) and proved that they clean up good. Crimes is just about as chaotic as its predecessor, but everything sounds a little cleaner and Jordan Blilie and Johnny Whitney's voices veer closer to what the average person would call "singing," though cleaning up did not mean watering anything down.

The "Scream Team Tour" kicks off November 17th in Atlanta, and runs through a December 13th show in Riverside, California, visiting multiple major US cities.

A lot of this record is about parsing reality. We're constantly being influenced by algorithms, by fear, by our own social echo chambers. Horizons/West tries to pull the curtain back on some of that.

The second act, more or less the thematic center of the record, is a single song split into three parts, exploring themes of past and present.
