Vocalist\/guitarist Connor Erickson is arguing with GPS directions, kicking himself out of Milwaukee apartments, and backsliding into a murky headspace. After torching his throat, Erickson returns to his calmer tone to deliver a grim admission: \u201c<em>I said we\u2019d live here forever if you\u2019d like. It\u2019s a bullshit and common lie, but it\u2019s one that helps me sleep at night.<\/em>\u201d Barely Civil isn\u2019t finding home in familiar haunts anymore. The places they call home are now in the unlikeliest of places: nestled between coping skills and self-improvement. Wrestling with one\u2019s faults is complex, imperfect, and uncomfortable, but it\u2019s a necessary step in any story.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018I\u2019ll Figure This Out,\u2019 Barely Civil\u2019s sophomore full-length, offers temporary solutions to this existential concern. The band\u2019s massive live energy translates into concise, yet expansive arrangements. <em>Box for My Organs<\/em> slams sonic triumph against plainspoken self-doubt. Grief and guilt are on the same plane in <em>Bottom of the Lake<\/em>, while the band contemplates the sustainability of burning their twenties at both ends on <em>The Worst Part of December<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>I feel like our music revolves around the process of analyzing who we are and where we come from,\u201d <\/em>Erickson explains. \u201c<em>Possibly, even, where we belong.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u2018I\u2019ll Figure This Out\u2019 attempts to answer those questions while turning completely inward.
