Keep It Together

Harmonically rich indie rock that balances sunny melodies with a subtle, suburban melancholy. The moment the band traded hand drums for a traditional kit.

The one where they finally got a real drum kit and made their most beautiful, harmony-heavy record.

A warm, sun-drenched collection of songs that masks a deep sense of suburban longing and transition.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive, multi-tracked vocal climax of 'Amsterdam' that feels like a sudden burst of sunlight.
The transition in 'Come Downstairs and Say Hello' where the sparse intro blooms into a lush, psychedelic arrangement.
The intimate, campfire-style banjo and group vocals that close out 'Jesus on the Radio'.
