Iconic Midwest emo/math outfit Algernon Cadwallader returned in 2025, with their first new album in 14-years. ’Trying Not To Have a Thought’ (2025) isn’t just their first album since ‘Parrot Flies’ (2011). It’s also their first with their original lineup since their seminal debut, ’Some Kind of Cadwallader’ (2008).
