Written by founding members Alex Higgin-Houser, David Kornfeld, Laura Stratford, and Brendan Siegfried, Liberal Arts uses summa-cum-laude-grade lyrics and a diverse array of musical styles from rock to tango to stomp in order to tell the story of five freshmen and one senior as they navigate their way through life, love, and deconstruction theory at Secular Liberal Arts College (SLAC), only to find that their expensive education has left them flush with student loans and short on, well, “practical experience.” It’s a bitter valentine to the liberal arts by liberal artists that solves “The Derivative of Love,” penetrates the anatomy of “Bromance,” and figures out what to do when you’re “Sexiled.”
