i dismissed this band for years because i really hated 'yoo hoo' (and based on a re-listen just now, i still do) but i'm now listening to some of their back catalog and am happy to say my dismissal was pretty unjustified (really loving "lipstick" and "you're one" esp)

First album in a while.

One of my two or three favourite bands for a few years--some of their albums had a bunch of great songs, and even the least of them had a couple. No real expectations, but I'll look for this.

"You're One" one of the greatest songs of the past couple of decades (and the smartest response to Kurt Cobain ever).

"You're the One" proved personally revelatory the summer of its release -- it and "Butch" spoke a language I was starting to understand.
Ooh, missed this bump, just learned of album #6 recently. Out next Friday, three songs already streaming: https://imperialteen.bandcamp.com/album/now-we-are-timeless
