Back to Bedlam

Polished acoustic pop and soft rock led by a distinctive, strained falsetto. A decade-defining collection of sentimental ballads and mid-tempo reflections.

The ultimate collection of 2000s ballads for when you just need to have a good, melodic cry.

A polished, radio-ready melancholy that balances romantic longing with a surprising undercurrent of trauma.

Moments Worth Waiting For

the vulnerable crack in the falsetto during the bridge of You're Beautiful

the stark shift from romantic longing to the harrowing war imagery of No Bravery

the way the piano and vocals isolate during the final chorus of Goodbye My Lover
