Big TV

A cinematic concept record following a couple's move to the city. Huge choruses, warm analog synths, and baritone vocals that feel like driving through a neon night.

It's the ultimate soundtrack for driving through a city at 2 AM while feeling like you're in a movie.

A soaring, cinematic sense of urban isolation mixed with romantic hope.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The explosive transition from the atmospheric synth swell into the driving drum beat of the title track.

The shimmering, 80s-indebted guitar hook that anchors the chorus of There Goes Our Love Again.

The way the instrumental Space I provides a brief, weightless breather before the pop-leaning First Time Caller kicks in.
