Tracks like “ Leave the Midwest ,” “ Cruisin’, ” and “ The Truth Fits ” highlights their gift for narrative, while “Nowhere Next ,” “ Here I Go ,” and “ Wasting Time ” reveal their capacity for the unexpected. “ Come See Me ,” “ Second Hand Smoke ,” and “ Outlaw ” nod to tradition with a touch of country that complements the band’s signature style. The album also pays homage to Yonder’s storied past, breathing new life into two classics from the Yonder catalog, “ River " and “Didn’t Go Wrong” , reaching back over two decades.
