These 10 new tracks are heavy and haunting, while lyrically poignant and continuing the story of a working class family living in post-WWII America. ‚Letters Home‘ revolves around the father of two brothers that listeners were introduced to in two of Defeater‘s prior releases (2008‘s ‚Travels‘ and, most recently, 2011‘s ‚Empty Days & Sleepless Nights‘), giving a background to the character and seeing some of the events from those past albums through his eyes.
