Break Up

A breezy, 1960s-inspired collection of duets. Shuffling acoustic guitars and unpolished vocal chemistry create a warm, afternoon-light intimacy.

It's like a 60s French pop record but made by 2000s indie kids in a sunny living room.

A charmingly unpolished and breezy exploration of romantic friction through warm, acoustic-led duets.

Moments Worth Waiting For
the bouncy 1960s-style shuffle of Relator that feels like a lost pop standard
the vulnerability in the vocal blend during the chorus of I Don't Know What to Do
the fuzzy, slightly distorted guitar solo that breaks through the acoustic veneer of Blackie's Dead
