Released just months after their debut album Dive, "Receiver" finds Lifeguard in a much different headspace. Colder and more direct than anything in their catalog, "Receiver" is the sound of the band fully coming into their own. Kai Slater and Asher Case’s guitars call, respond, and spider web across the track, centered on Isaac Lowenstein’s tasteful mid tempo beat. The splintered finale is the only time the song feels like it’s losing control, collapsing into its stuttered, feedback laced end. B side "Sun Ra Jane" oscillates between time signatures before opening up into a liminal zone that is truly the threshold of where Lifeguard have pushed their sound to date. A new sense of space and maturity saturates these songs, recorded and produced by the band at their Mixed Messages studio.

From Very Good Haiku Reviews: Lifeguard make it clear They are the best teen rock band Since Squirrel Bait, y'all! Nobody here at Chunklet HQ can find fault in that there haiku cuz it's the damn truth, folks. After the band's debut single evaporated in mere hours, we decided to try a pressed single this time around. Don't expect these to last long, neither. Get up on a thing.
