The band has seamlessly incorporated more '77 rock n' roll into their sound, some songs feeling like they could've been a Stiff Records single. This sound is emphasized by Ben Greenberg's (Uniform) expert production - crisp but still blown out and dirty. Lyrically, Readjusting the Locks moves away from the traditionally personal words of frontman Moses Brown. Rather than attacking the internal workings of his brain or it's socialization, as on previous records, this album attempts to address the societal atmosphere in which his agita exists. Blaming Neoliberalism and the irresponsible notions of utopia fostered under it, Brown argues that in recent decades the Western world's assumption that humanity would continue to prosper into the future has, on the contrary, created a disastrous political vacuum. Without a true plan for a sustainable future those in power will continue to offer humanity new policies, technologies, and politicians that promise change but are only capable of \"readjusting the locks\" on our incomprehensible existential predicament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ui-tabs ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-all\" id=\"aec-musictabs\"\u003e\n\u003cul role=\"tablist\" class=\"ui-tabs-nav ui-helper-reset ui-helper-clearfix ui-widget-header ui-corner-all\"\u003e\n\u003cli aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-selected=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"MusicTracks\" aria-controls=\"mt-1\" role=\"tab\" class=\"ui-state-default ui-corner-top ui-tabs-active ui-state-active\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"jp-volume-controls\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"jp-volume-bar\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"width: 80%;\" aria-label=\"Volume Bar\" class=\"jp-volume-bar-value\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"jp-gui jp-interface\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"jp-albuminfo-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"jp-aec-playerinfo-control\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"jp-playlist\"\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"display: block;\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"jp-playlist-current\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ca class=\"jp-playlist-item jp-playlist-current\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eM.P.S\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ca class=\"jp-playlist-item\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eMon Cherie\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ca class=\"jp-playlist-item\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eLet Me Be\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ca class=\"jp-playlist-item\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eIndoctrination Set\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ca class=\"jp-playlist-item\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eRoll Music\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ca class=\"jp-playlist-item\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eCan't See Nothin'\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ca class=\"jp-playlist-item\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eShangri-La\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ca class=\"jp-playlist-item\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eSt John's Wort\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ca class=\"jp-playlist-item\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eDazzle Paint\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ca class=\"jp-playlist-item\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eAnxiety\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ca class=\"jp-playlist-item\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eUtopia Sound\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ca class=\"jp-playlist-item\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eFooled Again\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ca class=\"jp-playlist-item\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eDeadlock\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Secretly Canadian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55596867846447,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0276\/7228\/1160\/files\/institute-readjusting-the-locks-new-cd-215813.jpg?v=1724544611","url":"https:\/\/madworldrecordstx.com\/products\/institute-readjusting-the-locks-used-cd","provider":"Mad World Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
