Is This It
Thirty-six minutes of lean, interlocking guitars and filtered vocals. The definitive sound of New York City at the turn of the millennium.

Debut
A sharp, skeletal precision cuts through the haze of these eleven tracks, delivering a masterclass in urban economy. The guitars click together like interlocking gears, while the vocals are pushed through a gritty, radio-filter distortion that suggests a cool, detached indifference. By stripping away the bloated production of the late nineties, this debut establishes a dry, room-sound intimacy that feels both immediate and effortlessly stylish.
The production is pushed notably harder into analog warmth than this artist usually allows.
