Making Dens

A whimsical blend of Eel Pie Island psychedelia and 2000s indie rock. Multi-generational harmonies meet prog-pop structures in a scrapbook of childhood nostalgia.

It's like if a 70s prog band and a 2000s indie group shared a houseboat and wrote songs about their childhoods.

A whimsical and slightly eccentric journey through childhood nostalgia and riverside psychedelia.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The sudden shift into a sprawling, multi-part prog odyssey during the title track's final minutes.

Intricate father-son vocal harmonies that elevate the jangly chorus of You Can't Fool Me Dennis.

The way the guitar tone on The Boy Who Ran Away perfectly captures the frantic energy of a teenage escape.
