Architect of the Ruin

Toad the Wet Sprocket

Polished jangle-pop and earnest folk-rock. Six tracks of shimmering guitars and warm vocal harmonies that feel like a cool breeze on a California beach.

It's like that perfect 90s radio sound grew up, moved back to the coast, and got really good at reflecting on life.

A mature, bittersweet reflection that balances melancholic lyrics with warm, uplifting melodies.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The seamless transition into the soaring, multi-part vocal harmony on the title track's chorus.
The way the acoustic strumming locks in with a crisp, dry snare hit on So Long Sunny.
The subtle, shimmering electric guitar lead that weaves through the bridge of the opening track.
