I saw Sundowner like 5 or 6 years ago on the Revival Tour. It didn’t do it for me. To the piont that I fully wrote it/him off, despite being 1/3 of the Lawrence Arms (a band I like but don’t worship like so many seem to), and being the lead on my favorite Lawrence Arms songs. 

Some how Neon Fiction ended up on some Spotify playlist or something and it just grabbed me. I listened to it a lot, but as it often happens with basically infinite music to listen to, I kind of forgot about it.

My mom actually bought me a copy of Neon Fiction for my birthday last week, and I’ve been revisiting it. Still great.
