A Woman a Man Walked By

A volatile collaboration defined by jagged guitar work and theatrical vocal shifts. It moves from anthemic grunge to unhinged, experimental folk-tales.

It's like a collection of dark, weird short stories set to some of the best guitar work of the decade.

A volatile mix of dark humor, visceral aggression, and haunting folk vulnerability.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The jarring transition in the title track where the music collapses into a frantic, spoken-word nightmare about a 'chicken-livered' man.

The soaring, distorted guitar hook of 'Black Hearted Love' that feels like a return to 90s alternative grandeur.

The fragile, high-register vulnerability of 'Leaving California' that contrasts sharply with the album's more aggressive outbursts.
