There Is No Enemy

A warm, expansive collection of guitar-driven indie rock. Patient arrangements and earnest vocals create a sense of comfortable, mid-tempo existentialism.

It's the ultimate 'dad-indie' record that actually shreds and makes you feel okay about getting older.

A seasoned, melodic reflection on existence that balances guitar-heavy psychedelia with a calm, autumnal warmth.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The way the guitars intertwine into a dense, melodic web during the extended outro of Tomorrow

The sudden, crunchy shift in energy when Pat breaks the album's otherwise mellow, contemplative flow

The delicate cello arrangement on Nowhere Lullaby that provides a soft bed for the vocal melody
