A Light for Attracting Attention

Tense, interlocking grooves and ethereal vocals that feel like a high-wire act. Art rock with a restless, polyrhythmic heart for deep, focused listening.

It's like Radiohead but with a jazz drummer and a serious caffeine habit.

A high-wire act of rhythmic tension and ethereal beauty that feels both claustrophobic and expansive.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The explosive transition from the hypnotic groove of Thin Thing into its chaotic, distorted climax

The way the brass section on The Smoke provides a soulful but uneasy counterpoint to the walking bassline

The sudden shift into aggressive, jagged punk on You Will Never Work in Television Again

The delicate, piano-led descent of Skrting on the Surface that closes the album in a state of grace
