The Changing of the Guard

Starflyer 59

A concise collection of sophisticated indie rock. Clean, chorus-heavy guitars and deadpan vocals create a warm, suburban atmosphere of mid-life nostalgia.

It's the sound of growing up and realizing your dad was just a guy, set to perfect indie pop.

A warm, autumnal reflection on legacy and the quiet passage of time.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition into the shimmering, synth-heavy chorus of Trucker’s Son that feels like a sudden memory.
The way the dry, upfront drum beat on Fun Is Fun grounds the hazy guitar layers.
The hauntingly simple piano melody that anchors the closing moments of Lose My Mind.
