Heavier Things

Polished 2000s pop-rock with a neurotic heart. Introspective songwriting meets sophisticated guitar work and subtle electronic loops.

It's the perfect record for when you're feeling a little too much in your own head on a rainy Tuesday.

A polished, mid-tempo meditation on the anxiety of early adulthood and the search for mental stillness.

Moments Worth Waiting For

the double-tracked trumpet fanfare that opens the album, signaling a shift toward more complex arrangements

the bluesy, slow-burn guitar solo in the middle of track 5 that channels Stevie Ray Vaughan through a pop lens

the rhythmic, percussive acoustic slapping that drives the momentum of track 2

the cyclical, hypnotic guitar figure on the final track that mimics the turning of a wheel
