Nothing Is Sound

A darker, more abrasive evolution of the band's surf-rock roots. Heavy on fuzzed-out bass and existential questions, it finds hope in the midst of deep shadows.

Find on Amazon

It's the dark, heavy, philosophical older brother to their radio hits.

A heavy, nocturnal exploration of existential doubt that ultimately finds a resilient sense of hope.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive, fuzzed-out bass riff that opens Lonely Nation, setting a much heavier tone than their previous work.
The shimmering, delay-heavy guitar bridge in Stars that feels like floating in deep space.
The transition from the somber, piano-led verses of The Blues into its crashing, cathartic wall-of-sound chorus.
