Better Days

Sun-drenched violin melodies meet reflective power pop. A mid-tempo meditation on aging, memory, and the bittersweet glow of suburban nostalgia.

It's the sound of your favorite 2000s band finally growing up and getting reflective without losing the violin hooks.

A warm, sun-drenched reflection on the past that feels both heavy with memory and light with acceptance.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The way the violin melody in the title track mimics a human sigh before the drums kick in.

The stripped-back bridge of 'Bedroom Posters' where the vocals drop to a vulnerable whisper.

The explosive, harmonized final chorus of 'City of Angels' that feels like a cinematic finale.
