The Unbearables latest release, an EP called "Autonomy vs. Shame" is the first in a three-part series of concept EPs
detailing the life cycle. Combining references to Greek Numerology, Jungian psychology, the Book of Genesis, and
Alcoholic's Anonymous 12-step program, each song in the series represents a numerical progression from birth, through
adolescence, middle age, and senescence, ending in inevitable death and decay. Containing numerous time signature
experiments--with each song reflecting in some way its numerical place in the larger story--this series of EPs represents a
serious departure from anything else the band has tried before.
The story of the numbers:
1. The Piano Song
2. The Line
3. The Let Go
4. The Loose Connection
5. The Sunday Song
