"Remember the first time you heard your favorite song? The Universe seemed to bend down and kiss you on the forehead; so perfect it was for that exact moment in your life. Be it in a crowded, smoky venue, in your room with your shoes off, or sitting in a friends car with the windows rolled down, when you hear that song your toe will start-a-tappin and your eyes will close as your relive that perfect moment. Now take The Western Civilization’s new album Letters of Resignation, put it in your CD player, and prepare to experience that moment all over again. A musical tapestry woven of honesty, heartbreak, disappointment, and absolution, that from track to track becomes increasingly familiar, Letters of Resignation is a remarkable debut album. Forthright lyrics born of real life struggles set to sweeping melodies and catchy hooks. An exciting union of digital beats and electrified rhythms to their perfect match of breezy acoustics and ethereal harmonies, the music mirrors the duality of its main voices. The boy-girl interplay on Love Struck Angel and Bruise the Paper allows the listener to be a fly-on-the-wall for the verbal assault, the sweet kiss, and all of the unpredictable in between. Letters of Resignation is mesmerizing while catchy, fluid even in its heaviest moments, and just plain good. Enjoy."

"The Western Civilization...have managed to meld electronics, teenage heartbreak, and shimmery-sweet twee-pop into a melancholy, gorgeous whole that evokes the best moments of that whole Saddle Creek/Omaha scene while remaining pretty unique.. "
