Both Ways Open Jaws
A restless fusion of tribal rhythms, chamber arrangements, and sharp art-pop hooks. Intricate, unpredictable, and steeped in a dark, whimsical atmosphere.

Both Ways Open Jaws is a record that feels like it was composed in a clearing between a dense forest and a modern metropolis. It is an album of constant motion, where the duo of Olivia Merilahti and Dan Levy refuse to let a single groove settle for too long. The sound is defined by a unique tension: the organic warmth of woodwinds and hand-played percussion clashing against the sharp, icy precision of Merilahti's vocals and digital textures. It is both inviting and slightly dangerous, much like the title suggests.
