Half Drunk Under a Full Moon

A maximalist pivot into technicolor chamber pop. Swelling strings, brass fanfares, and soulful harmonies replace the band's signature rowdy garage-rock stomp.

It's like the band walked out of a Glasgow pub and straight onto a 1960s film set.

A lush, theatrical celebration of romantic longing and technicolor nostalgia.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosion of brass and choral harmonies that opens the title track, signaling a massive departure from their garage-rock roots.
The bridge of 'Six Days in June' where the rhythm section locks into a swinging, Motown-inspired groove.
The cinematic, slow-burn build of 'Hello Stranger' that closes the album with a lush, orchestral crescendo.
