The Room’s Too Cold

A definitive winter record of the 2000s emo era. Fragile acoustic melodies collide with explosive, heart-on-sleeve rock and suburban isolation.

Find on Amazon

The ultimate soundtrack for when you're feeling dramatic in a cold bedroom.

A shivering, deeply sincere exploration of isolation and longing set against a backdrop of suburban winter.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the fragile acoustic opening of Ever So Sweet into the full-band crash of the second track
The desperate, soaring vocal strain during the climax of The Mountain Range in My Living Room
The haunting, repetitive outro of Everything's Too Cold ... But You're So Hot that feels like a slow freeze
