Airplane Conversations

Waterparks

Bright, earnest pop punk from the band's infancy. Before the glitchy electronics, there were just loud guitars, big hooks, and suburban daydreams.

It's the band you love before they discovered synthesizers and started overthinking everything.

A bright and hopeful collection of suburban anthems defined by youthful sincerity.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The bright, interlocking guitar riff that opens Silver sets a melodic tone far more traditional than their later work.
A sudden shift to acoustic intimacy on the stripped-back version of Silver highlights the vulnerability in the songwriting.
The gang-vocal energy during the bridge of Fantastic captures the communal spirit of early 2010s alternative rock.
