Currently on Seattle's influential Sub Pop label, the band has spent the last ten years recording and touring. They've just released what seems to be their most cherished album to date, Keep Your Eyes Ahead. At times eighteen-piece avant-rockers BRONZE and garage pop outfit YOURSELF AND THE AIR open.
