Joy

A polished, emotionally resonant reunion record. Warm studio production meets nostalgic songwriting and one massive, thirteen-minute progressive rock centerpiece.

The sound of four best friends finally getting their act together and celebrating the fact that they're still alive.

A warm, redemptive collection of songs that balances nostalgic reflection with a newfound sense of stability.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The sudden, triumphant burst of the main guitar riff in Backwards Down the Number Line after the delicate acoustic intro.

The intricate, classical-inspired guitar weaving during the middle movements of the thirteen-minute Time Turns Elastic.

The gritty, distorted blues-rock stomp that anchors the chorus of Stealing Time From the Faulty Plan.
