Midwest Skies and Sleepless Mondays

Piano-led anthems for the transitionally lonely. A cinematic blend of mid-2000s alternative rock and earnest, breathy storytelling about leaving home.

The perfect record for when you're moving to a new city and want to feel like the main character of a 2005 indie movie.

A bittersweet, cinematic longing that feels like watching your hometown disappear in the rearview mirror.

the way the piano melody in Boston feels like it is physically pulling you toward a new life

the nearly ten-minute slow burn of Not Alone that dissolves into a massive atmospheric climax

the transition from a whisper to a desperate rasp during the bridge of Angels
