Album Of The Week: Antarctigo Vespucci Love In The Time Of E-Mail

There's a particular kind of anxiety that comes when you text someone and you see the three dots looking back at you on your screen. When those dots disappear and then reappear, it gets worse. This is a new anxiety, and nobody has really figured out how to properly describe it yet. But that anxiety is where the new Antarctigo Vespucci album, Love In The Time Of E-Mail, lives. Antarctigo Vespucci is the pop-punk super-duo of Chris Farren and Jeff Rosenstock, two dudes who find themselves confounded by the present-day world more often than not. (They even use the baffled-old-person spelling of "email" in their album title.) And yet they have made a bracing, fun, deeply catchy album about finding yourself caught in unexplored romantic slipstream.
