Sound As Ever

You Am I

Gritty, high-gain alternative rock recorded in a snowy Minnesota studio. A debut defined by suburban storytelling, feedback-drenched hooks, and raw energy.

It's like The Who got lost in a Minnesota blizzard with a member of Sonic Youth.

A restless, high-voltage burst of suburban frustration and melodic brilliance.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive opening feedback of Berlin Chair that instantly defines the record's high-gain energy.
The sprawling seven-minute tension of You Scare Me where the band leans into Lee Ranaldo's art-noise sensibilities.
The sudden, sharp drum fills on Jaimme's Got a Gal that cut through the melodic power-pop veneer.
