As a quick sidebar: transitioning from a deep dive in Joy Division's catalogue to Family Reunion's relationship quarrels in her pop destinations, better known as songs, is an unexpected way to pump yourself up for a release from Jackie.

Family's newest relationship armor entitled Zoned Out is like dunking your head in cold water to fight off a love fever. In standard fashion, the co-produced song with Tombo misleads your instinctive boost like when you hear electro-pop type drums. Zoned Out's internally screaming production disconnects everything through an extremely paved drum with a wobbly bassline rhythm pattern. Falling over the rhythm in a certain fashion awakens a desire to slink away from anything vulnerable or embarrassing. The emo, circa Brand New Eyes sounding and feeling power rhythm guitar riffs yell irritated nothings to someone who won't get the message, a notion Family Reunion is fed up with.

Under a dizzying melody and delivery of tiny punches, Reunion is the anti to how all her friends are living their love life and she is rightfully blaming it on experience. Her suspicious vocals fortify her emotional walls, adding gas to the dancing rhythm, only her voice is making Zoned Out dance steps of avoidance. The intentional strain in her falsetto in the chorus is the frustration webbed into the song. Jackie ends shoeing away any potential suitors, capping off the night alone but not lonely, and sounding damn good while doing it.

And that is precisely the way Family Reunion wants to leave things.
