The Swiss Army Romance

Stripped-back acoustic confessions recorded with a bone-dry intimacy. A solitary guitar and a voice that breaks under the weight of its own honesty.

It's just one guy, an acoustic guitar, and enough raw emotion to make you feel like you're reading his stolen diary.

A stark, unshielded exploration of loneliness and the physical sensation of a breaking heart.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The audible intake of breath before the vocal strain on the chorus of The Sharp Hint of New Tears.
The way the guitar strumming becomes frantic and percussive during the climax of Ender Will Save Us All.
The haunting, repetitive refrain in Not So Easy where the double-tracked vocals create a ghostly sense of self-doubt.
