Four-Day Trials

A raw, four-day capture of acoustic chemistry. Three-part harmonies and hand-played percussion recorded with the intimacy of a living room session.

Find on Amazon

It sounds like the best campfire session you've ever heard, recorded straight to tape in a basement.

A restless but comforting blend of travel-worn wisdom and youthful, harmonic optimism.

Cover This (intro)

Moments Worth Waiting For
The studio chatter and false start on the intro to Cover This that reveals the record's unpolished intimacy.
The rhythmic, repetitive vocal hook of Hubs building into a soulful meditation on travel and distance.
The transition into the hidden track where the band's loose, improvisational chemistry takes center stage.
