Untenable

Limited colored vinyl LP pressing. Includes digital download. 2020 release. Untenable is the sophomore full-length by Washington, D.C.'s Bad Moves. On this record, the band has leaned into the outer edges of their influences, expanding their power-pop umbrella to include hints of folk, garage rock, and '90s "indie" while still keeping the hooks tuneful and sticky. Lyrically, the band explores the myriad anxieties of modern living - from heady questions of self-definition and identity to day-to-day matters, like labor precarity, climate change, social media, automation and the surveillance state.
