With “The Latter Teens", released as the first track on their ep “After Fillmore County”, Vansire describes a road trip on US Route 20 (a coast-to-coast highway that spans 3,365 miles).

With rolls of photos to compile
We won't see oceans for a while
From Massachusettes
The lights all went down
Across the US
In its cities and towns
The main spots I consider home
The Rust Belt and the driftless zone
[Chorus]
The way you thought your life might be
It fell apart in the latter teens
It always gets to me
