Some Cities

Gritty, soulful indie rock that trades rural sprawl for urban decay. A cinematic tribute to changing cityscapes and the ghosts of Northern England.

It's the ultimate soundtrack for when you're feeling a bit nostalgic for a city that doesn't exist anymore.

A resilient, soulful yearning for connection amidst the disappearing landmarks of an industrial past.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The Motown-inspired drum shuffle that kicks off Black and White Town with unexpected soul

The way the strings swell and then dissolve into street noise during the transition of The Storm

That final, fragile piano melody on Ambition that feels like a long exhale after a heavy day
