Charmed Life

Thirty-one tracks of exuberant, lo-fi garage rock. A guileless burst of optimism filtered through untuned guitars and a harmonica-heavy backdrop.

It sounds like the coolest kids in high school started a band in a garage and forgot to learn how to tune their guitars.

A guileless burst of optimism that finds joy in the primitive and the unpolished.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The exuberant harmonica blast that kicks off the Jimmy Reed cover, turning a blues staple into a garage-rock anthem.

The deadpan delivery of the line about changing his name to Lucky over a surprisingly melodic guitar jangle.

The nearly nine-minute sprawl of Real Cool Time that tests the limits of the band's primitive repetition.
