A Sun Came

A sprawling, eccentric debut recorded on a four-track. Brimming with tape hiss, woodwinds, and raw, experimental folk-rock ideas.

Lo-fi debut

A recorder squeaks over a dusty four-track hiss, sounding less like a grand debut and more like a brilliant hoarder clearing out his attic. Before the pristine symphonies arrived, there was this glorious, overstuffed sandbox of woodwinds and raw tape. It is messy, charmingly chaotic, and entirely in on its own joke.

Moments Worth Waiting For

05DemetriusThe track shifts abruptly from quiet acoustic strumming into a noisy, distorted guitar explosion that disrupts the gentle folk atmosphere.
