Language & Perspective

Shimmering California indie rock defined by staccato guitar hooks and a restless, nostalgic energy. A quintessential 2014 soundtrack for late summer sunsets.

It's the ultimate soundtrack for driving toward the beach while you're overthinking your entire life.

A propulsive and shimmering blend of youthful energy and late-afternoon melancholy.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The explosive, syncopated drum fill that kicks off the chorus of Cardiac Arrest

The way the guitar line in Salt mimics a vocal melody with its bright, clean tone

The atmospheric, slow-burn build of the bridge in Transpose before the final hook
