Birthdays

Hyper-intimate folk that feels like a secret whispered in a dark room. Brittle guitar and breathy vocals for moments of profound, quiet solitude.

It's the sonic equivalent of a long, lonely walk in the rain where you finally let yourself cry.

A profound, unvarnished exploration of heartbreak that feels both fragile and intensely heavy.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarring transition from delicate fingerpicking to a wall of distorted electric guitar on Kronos.
The audible intake of breath before the devastating opening line of Lying To You.
The way the cello swells to mirror the vocal strain during the climax of Sweetheart, What Have You Done to Us.
