After 12 years of being disband, The Uglysuit come soaring back with the record that started it all. Once making waves with such likes of The Rolling Stone and Paiste, and going on multiple tours with Umphrey’s McGee, The Uglysuit brings a timeless and fresh album that was physically released a year before they fully formed The Uglysuit.

“Kansas” kicks off the record with a Psychedelic folk sound letting a subtle Pink Floyd nod slip through. Vocalist Israel Hindman morosely enters with such confidence that you immediately relate to his longing melody.
“The Other Side Of Town” sounds like the sunniest day with the best breeze. A beautiful movement of a hope filled summer afternoon. With additional piano by Mayfield and their patented soft to loud dynamic approach they swell into an exit jam led by whistling melodies and a wammy bar guitar solo.
“Dobbs” is an unforgiving track that starts small and ends bigger than almost anything song the band has ever written. Showcasing just how loud they can get while weaving multiple guitar riffs through each other while bass and drums drive the song to its short but powerful conclusion.
“This Side Of Town” is arguably the best track on the record. They take their time, building each chord bigger than the next just to take it back down for the most intricate, sing along verses of the record. The ending crescendos so intensely that you won’t be sitting by the end of it. Your body won’t be able to help itself.

“The Midwest” is a the Uglysuit’s original calling card. Their wall of sound is massive. Their catchy vocals are undoubted. Their soft to loud arrangements and movements are crafting like vets yet they were merely
Just beginning. This record is a fantastic entry into an already fantastic discography. Old fans and new fans alike will not be disappointed.
