The Distance to Here

Stadium-sized alternative rock drenched in oceanic mysticism. A return to explosive, guitar-driven anthems and soaring, spiritual vocal performances.

It's the sound of a 90s stadium band finding their soul again through massive riffs and oceanic metaphors.

A triumphant and spiritually charged collection of anthems that balances aggressive rock energy with a sense of profound peace.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The massive, distorted guitar swell that launches the first chorus of The Dolphin's Cry

The rhythmic, percussive vocal delivery in the verses of Where Fishes Go before the melodic release

The shimmering, almost psychedelic guitar textures that open Sparkle before the band locks into a heavy groove
