Fortress

Sun-drenched acoustic guitars and soaring five-part harmonies. A polished blend of Southern folk-rock and post-grunge earnestness made for long drives.

The ultimate soundtrack for a windows-down drive through the South with four friends who can actually sing.

A bright, communal optimism tempered by moments of quiet, sun-drenched reflection.

The production is pushed a touch harder into studio polished than this artist usually allows.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The explosion of five-part harmony on the chorus of Change Your Mind that elevates it from a simple folk tune to an anthem.

The delicate, piano-led vulnerability of Your Winter which strips away the rock polish for a moment of genuine heartbreak.

The sprawling, nearly six-minute title track closer that builds into a dense, layered wall of acoustic and electric textures.
