Control Is Make Believe (2014)

The sophomore album by Next Door Strangers. Deep in the depths of substance abuse, Next Door Strangers created something sad and beautful but certainly not life affirming. Angry and sometimes hopeless one take raw verses are delivered till near breathlessness by David Evans. Haunting guitar riffs and choruses are provided by a ghoulish sounding Elliot Evans. You can almost smell the Florida dive bars and interactions with junkies and unscrupulous characters as this sophomore effort delivers a spiraling soundtrack to booze and lose to.
