Cape Dory

A sun-drenched travelogue of a sailing trip captured in lo-fi indie pop. Grainy, nautical, and deeply nostalgic for 1960s girl-group melodies.

It's like a 1960s girl group went on a sailing trip and recorded the whole thing on a vintage tape deck.

A breezy, sun-bleached nostalgia that feels like a warm memory of the open sea.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The jangly, surf-inspired guitar riff that opens Marathon, instantly setting the nautical tone.

Alaina Moore's vocals reaching a sweet, airy peak during the chorus of Cape Dory.

The muffled, lo-fi drum intro of Take Me Somewhere that feels like a transmission from a distant era.
