Equal Vision Records and South Carolina-based indie-rock quartet All Get Out are excited to present the Friday, June 3 release of Kodak, the band’s first full-length offering since 2018’s No Bouquet.

The lyrics tend to be stark and brooding, adding a palpable sense of darkness to the album. Singles “All Candy”, “Foreign Anchor” and “Ornaments From The Well” ebb and […]
