Singles

A sophisticated collection of narrative pop vignettes. Witty, lushly orchestrated, and deeply observant of the mid-70s urban dating landscape.

It's like a collection of New Yorker short stories set to the smoothest 70s piano pop you've ever heard.

A sophisticated, slightly weary urbanity masked by lush, melodic pop arrangements.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The title track's slow-burn realization of the loneliness inherent in the 70s dating scene.
The intricate, Broadway-adjacent chord changes in Who What When Where Why that elevate it above standard pop.
The sudden, lush string swell that punctuates the emotional peak of For Beginners Only.
