Love Is Here

Piano-led indie rock defined by James Walsh's trembling falsetto. A melancholic, rain-soaked debut that trades Britpop swagger for earnest vulnerability.

It's the ultimate 'staring out of a rainy bus window' album with vocals that will break your heart.

A deeply earnest, rain-slicked collection of songs that finds beauty in vulnerability and quiet desperation.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The way the piano motif in 'Alcoholic' feels like it's stumbling under its own emotional weight.

The soaring, desperate height of the falsetto during the climax of 'Tie Up My Hands'.

The sudden, lush orchestral swell that elevates 'Good Souls' from a simple ballad to an anthem.
