Minus the Bear's debut LP, 2002's Highly Refined Pirates, is one of the more enjoyable exercises in Jade Tree Records fetishism from the early '00s. It captured the spirit of the genre's forebears (the jangly, open tunings; the deliberately puerile lyrics; the obnoxiously long and esoteric song titles), while still carving out a unique identity for itself. Since then, Minus the Bear have evolved into perhaps the quintessential emo-dad band, and 2014's Lost Loves—a collection of outtakes the spans the group's entire history—is the perfect soundtrack for autumnal cuddle sessions and 2016 Honda Civic ads alike.
