A Good Ground is Oxford Collapse expanding its skies, deepening its tracks, and discovering their peers. The music has taken on elements of what could only be called Americana — though it’s the hazier Americana heard on a circa-’85 Meat Puppets or R.E.M. record as opposed to the term’s more recent connotations. Much of the album’s spent in a cascading territory, drumbeats as propulsion; the ideal soundtrack for a long drive with the windows down and the sun in your eyes. A Good Ground finds Pace delivering his vocals with a newfound strength, and the addition of Rizer enriches the vocal department even further.
