A gritty, funk-infused debut where soulful falsetto meets jagged guitars. Far more organic and rhythmically driven than the band's later high-gloss digital pop.

A scratchy, funk-inflected guitar bite and syncopated rhythm section define this remarkably tactile debut. Emerging from the ashes of their high school rock incarnation, the five-piece crafts a sophisticated blend of melody and groove that bridges the gap between garage-rock energy and a smoky, late-night atmosphere. The record thrives on the friction between elastic, restless vocals and a band that sounds like they are actually playing together in a room, capturing a raw, analog-leaning warmth before the digital pop machine takes over.
