It's like if a piano-rock band joined the emo scene and actually had something important to say about healing.

A deeply earnest and vulnerable exploration of pain and recovery wrapped in lush, melodic piano-rock.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the piano melody in 'The Way She Feels' provides a delicate, shimmering counterpoint to the heavy lyrical themes of struggle and recovery.
The explosive, cathartic bridge of 'A Time for Yohe' where the guitars swell to meet the emotional peak of the vocal delivery.
The final minute of 'You Cry a Tear to Start a River' where the instrumentation builds into a lush, orchestral-tinged crescendo.
