Portugal HC (MR) 10/5/24 AM Mascis sounds somewhat brighter and

Mascis sounds somewhat brighter and more emotional than in recent times

and the hearts of two young souls

for the first time in a long

leavings lives shattered and multiple bodies in their wake

Album opener and lead single

Portugal HC (MR) 10/5/24 AM Mascis sounds somewhat brighter andComics artist Simon Muchat is stuck. Suffering writer's block, uninspired, vegetating as a school art teacher, he is losing direction and his taste for life, until one day he is invited to appear at a comics convention in Portugal, the country his family came from and which he hadn't seen since his childhood. The experience proves cathartic. Even though he is not Portuguese himself and is a foreigner there, so many elements are familiar to him.
