Gotta Do More arrives like a field at the edge of a city — sprawling, wild, and shot through with color that doesn't apologize for itself.
Heroes, Interlopers built this album from fragments: torn photographs, typewritten lists, woven grids of blue tape and prairie grass. The textures of the cover are the textures of the music.
The record opens with politics and pleasure, threads a string quartet through its center, and closes with five movements of the Prairie School suite — lake dance, fire, fireflies, coda.
Bill Harris appears on Track 5, "Free with Bill," lending the record one of its most open moments — a conversation rather than a performance.
