Come of Age

High-octane indie rock pairing 1960s pop hooks with heavy reverb. A cynical but anthemic exploration of growing up and feeling out of place.

It's the sound of being young, famous, and completely unsure of yourself, set to massive guitar hooks.

A high-energy collision of youthful defiance and the creeping anxiety of adulthood.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The explosive drum fill that kicks off No Hope, setting a pace of frantic self-doubt.

The surf-rock guitar tremolo during the bridge of Aftershave Ocean that briefly transports the track to a hazy beach.

The way the vocals on Lonely World build into a desperate, repetitive mantra over five minutes of escalating tension.
