Review
Your third marriage goes bust. You file for bankruptcy. Your major label drops you from its roster, so you turn indie. It’s not a time to experiment; it’s a time for Everclear frontman Art Alexakis to remember what his band did at their apex and hope people still care. This is heads-down, guitar-driven white soul music. The words are about looking back to that moment when everything went wrong, about grabbing the snapshots of happier times before the whole house burns down. “No more drama, no more pain” he vows on “The Drama King,” but who’s he kidding: Bills must be paid, and few thrash around in recriminations and bad memories as vividly as Art. It’s just that he’s done it before, and better.
