Under The Radar Revisits Jawbreaker's Bivouac and Chesterfield King!

"The term "emo" has gotten a bad reputation, largely from its bastardization in the late '90s and early '00s, but looking back at these albums 20 years on, one remembers what the music really meant.

"In fact, it's that distance, both between people and between the individual and their own feelings, that frames Bivouac, and that Schwarzenbach explores so fully here, more than on the raw emotion of Unfun and more than on the concise attacks of 24 Hour Revenge Therapy. The 10-minute closing title track is a slow trudge, a way to, after the rumbling "Parabola" reflect on how it can possibly be the world looks so big, the people in it so small, so kept apart from one another."
