Comments: From the Austin's A.V. Club:

"The songs on [Whitman's] new 7-inch, Cul-de-Sac, dial back on their predecessors' angularity, opting instead for a looser, Lone Star-swilling-and-spilling vibe reminiscent of Lucero or the Hold Steady. With its damning tales of suburban bloodshed, the title track in particular recalls one of Craig Finn's hyper-specific recaps of a party gone awry."

Upbeat pop with lots of clashing cymbals and shouts of "hey!" (Also, Lone Star is the cheap beer of choice in Austin, TX-- that might help illuminate the above description.") Check out Track 2.
