Black Vinyl Version 

If The Lawrence Arms are the musical equivalent of raising a toast with your (admittedly aging) friends in your favorite bar, then the Falcon are the equivalent of shooting heroin alone in dark alley. But, ya know, with a sense of humor. It hasn’t always been that way, either. On 2006’s Unicornography, The Falcon still felt a bit like a goofy off-shoot of The Lawrence Arms, or at least a place Brendan Kelly could stash all those ideas that weren’t quite in line with the trio’s heartfelt punk esthetic. Ska up-strokes, western ditties, crude humor and the like. I loved that album, but let’s face it: “La-Z-Boy 500” wouldn’t sound much out of place on Cocktails and Dreams. In the years since, the Lawrence Arms have evolved a bit with age, but they’re not too far from where they were before The Falcon. The real shift lies in Kelly’s solo work on the Wandering Birds record. His exploration of evil and crime on I’d Rather Die Than Live Forever is the most obvious stepping-stone to Gather Up The Chaps. The 2013 record really opened up the floodgates for his dark lyrical ambitions, and the Falcon of 2016 is a different bird entirely.
