Life Imitating Life

Sun-drenched Americana and piano-led rock. A record of wide-open spaces, breathy vocals, and the bittersweet optimism of moving forward.

It's the perfect soundtrack for driving toward a new life with the sun setting in your rearview mirror.

A hopeful, sun-drenched reflection on moving forward while carrying the weight of the past.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The way the piano hook in Ash and Ember cuts through the atmospheric haze to ground the record.

The soaring, anthemic chorus of Youth Is Wasted on the Young that feels like a cinematic climax.

The stripped-back, intimate vulnerability of the closing track American Heartbreak.
