*Angles* is the band’s first album since 2006’s *First Impressions of Earth* and marks a return to the spontaneity of their earlier releases, *Is This It* (2001) and *Room On Fire* (2003). In 2010, the band hit the road and headlined major festivals across the US and UK such as the Isle of Wight Festival, Lollapalooza, Hurricane Festival, Splendour In The Grass, Rockness, Outside Lands, and Austin City Limits. *Time Out Chicago* described their Lollapalooza performance as “the best set I've seen in my four years of covering Lollapalooza.”
