Titled Indifferent Rivers Romance End, the cover of Wreck and Reference's newest album depicts a statue of pre-socratic Greek philosopher Heraclitus tied to a brick and drowned in a river of liquor and dirt. Heraclitus, "the weeping philosopher," found comfort in the uniformity of the world's chaos. Wreck and Reference is not at home in genre conventions; relying on computers, acoustic drums, and voice the band has found an audience with the heavier crowd and fans of the experimental. Indifferent Rivers Romance End is a winding composition of ballads that interrogate the endurance of purpose, love, and change set against a backdrop of disillusionment draining into nihilism. The album sees Wreck and Reference employ the clarity of IDM and the rhythmic flood of trap as an experiment in pop, metal, and noise. Like all Wreck and Reference albums, Indifferent Rivers Romance End was self-recorded, but this time with increased use of digital synthesizers in lieu of samples, creating a greater sense of fluidity and movement. In contrast to past work, Indifferent Rivers Romance End is an album that allows the possibility of change, even the necessity of it, when the self comes to face the inevitability of continued life amidst the construction and destruction of relationships. Originally formed in 2011 by multi-instrumentalists Ignat Frege and Felix Skinner, Wreck and Reference use computers, drums, and vocals to create a sound that is eccentric, captivating, and often unnerving. That same year, the band recorded their first EP, Black Cassette, in a garage, drawing upon the blown out intensity of black metal and the angularity of noise rock, with themes of determinism and Cormac McCarthy-esque isolation. In 2012, their debut full length, Y?o?u?t?h?, represented a dramatic expansion of their sonic palette. In deeper, darker tones, Y?o?u?t?h? was a reflection on the opposing forces of dismissal and longing for both the past and the future, questioning the value of life lived and life yet to come. These sounds and themes were pushed further in Wreck and Reference's second full length, Want, in 2014. Described by Pitchfork as having "radical vision" and "boundless experimentation," Want expanded into a darker and more brooding territory, plumbing the depths of isolation, sadness, and hopelessness, as if written from inside a room with only a dimming window into a perfectly callous world.

No progressive agenda! Perfect kids book!
Format: Hardcover
I'm a homeschooling parent of a kindergartener. As part of our social studies curriculum, I have been introducing the Pledge of Allegiance and the anthem, and I wanted to find a book that would go a little further into how the flag came to be and why we stand to say the Pledge, and this was the perfect book! It's written with great accuracy and at a child's level. There is also no progressive agenda, as I had discovered with some of the other kids books on the subject. It also lists when and how you are to stand for the flag, and has the Pledge printed in it. Would definitely recommend!

Very patriotic and educational
Format: Hardcover
I love everything about this book for my flag crazy grandson! He loves learning about our American flag. Very patriotic book. He's a bit young (not yet 3 years old) to fully understand it. But it's amazing what he picks up from having it read to him (over and over and over again!) He loves to sit and look at the pictures early in the morning before the rest of us are up and awake.

Great to teach with
Format: Hardcover
Respect for the flag is very important to me. I had volunteered to present flag etiquette to 5th grade social studies class. After the presentation, I realized I need to find something easier for them to comprehend. Purchased to help me share with younger students.

Perfect book!
Format: Hardcover
Great book! I used it for a co-op lesson about the flag and kids ages 5-11 enjoyed it. Good history, I liked that they cover the proper ways to respect a flag at the end.

The Flag, Joe Biden, President Trump?
Format: Hardcover
“Our Flag,” is a great find from Little Golden Books, but unfortunately not the LIttle Golden Books of today.
