Keep Your Wig On

Fastball

Polished power pop with a record collector's heart. Shimmering guitars, barroom storytelling, and warm harmonies for long drives and rainy Sundays.

Find on Amazon

It's the perfect record for when you want to feel like the protagonist of a slightly melancholic but very catchy indie movie.

A weary but melodic optimism that feels like a sunset drive through the desert.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The meta-lyrical nod to Revolver and Gang of Four in 'Til I Get It Right' that anchors the album's record-collector soul.
The transition from the crackling radio static of 'Shortwave' into the punchy, melodic drive of 'Lou-ee, Lou-ee'.
The shimmering, Adam Schlesinger-produced pop perfection of 'Someday' that captures a quintessential mid-2000s indie-pop warmth.
