Coastal Grooves

A noir-pop debut defined by chorus-heavy guitars and drum machines. It captures the specific, lonely glamour of New York City streets at three in the morning.

It sounds like walking through Manhattan at 3 AM with a broken heart and a very expensive leather jacket.

A stylishly detached and lonely exploration of urban heartbreak and midnight longing.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The skeletal, funky bassline of 'Sutphin Boulevard' locking in with a dry drum machine to create an instant urban strut.
The haunting, repetitive guitar refrain on 'Champagne Coast' that feels like it could loop forever into the night.
The sudden shift into a more aggressive, jagged guitar tone during the bridge of 'Forget It'.
