Appleseed Cast - Two Conversations

The break up concept album no one asked for, The Appleseed Cast arrived on Tiger Style in 2003 amidst a second wave emo backlash. Decades later, Two Conversations is widely considered the Lawrence, Kansas, quintet's crowning achievement, an atmospheric soul baring that eschews the Midwest varietal's tropes. Get lost in the dreamy keys and synths and steel string strums, just be home before curfew.

"The group sound like it's trapped on Polyvinyl Records circa 1996."—Pitchfork
