Fakebook

Sixteen tracks of hushed acoustic covers and originals. A domestic, sun-drenched departure that trades feedback for brushes and three-part harmonies.

It's like the coolest people you know playing a private folk set in their living room.

A gentle, sun-drenched collection of musical tributes that feels like a warm afternoon with old friends.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The gentle, skeletal acoustic strumming on Andalucia that makes the room feel smaller.
The way the vocal harmonies lock in during the chorus of You Tore Me Down.
The transformation of Daniel Johnston's Speeding Motorcycle into a polished, jangly pop gem.
