Childhood daydreaming mixed with ’70s kitsch; a wistful nostalgia refracted and distorted; an artificial recreation of a (probably false) memory. Music Has The Right To Children sums this up with its cover art—a sun-bleached vacation photo of a family whose faces have all been blurred out, eroded by time or your own failing mental faculties. As [band member Michael] Sandison explained, “If there’s sadness in the way we use memory, it’s because the time you’re focusing on has gone forever… It’s a theme we play on a lot, that bittersweet thing where you face up to the fact that certain chapters of your life are just Polaroids now.” — Sean O’Neal, The A.V. Club
