Cody released

In 2016, the band released their next album, Cody , produced by Rob Schnapf . It was supported by the singles ” Fake I.D. “, “Eighteen”, and “Last You Heard of Me”. For the album, the band dismissed Walcher; the members felt he did not connect with the band’s songwriting. It became one in a string of percussionists sitting in with the group; Johnson recruited Jeff Enzor for Cody and its tour. Schnapf encouraged the group to slow down the tempo and incorporate longer verses and bridges. Cody was viewed as more accessible than previous efforts by critics; Pitchfork dismissed it as an attempt to “sound like Everclear “. On Billboard ‘s Top Album Sales chart, Cody landed at number 75, and in the top 30 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums ranking. Cody was supported with tours alongside the Hotelier and Crying , as well as other stints with AJJ and Mannequin Pussy , plus another tour with Wavves in late 2017. Cody ended up being their only album with Enzor behind the drum kit; he was replaced on 2018’s Million Dollars to Kill Me by Pat Ware, of the group Spraynard .
