Darnielle was attracted to the action and the story lines in which heroes battled heels in rundown auditoriums and on syndicated TV week after week, but as importantly, it was also one of the few things that allowed him to bond with his stepfather, one small place where their obsessions crossed paths.

Reviews"The band is looser and more flexible than ever, deploying Superchunk’s Jon Wurster for accents and subtleties outside of his main band’s dynamic range, and punching out the gate with highlights as varied as the Louisiana ragtime of 'Southwestern Territory' and the punked-up 'Choked Out.'", "It’S an Artistic Success As a Literary Exercise...", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The music is fantastically rangy, with discordant strings and jazz piano nuzzling punk-busker guitar.", "Darnielle is once again backed by the sturdy rhythm section of Peter Hughes and Jon Wurster, who push him forward without getting in his way."

Additional InformationJohn Darnielle's lo-fi heroes deliver a concept album about pro wrestling and the lives of the people in and out of the ring.
