Congratulations
A sprawling, surf-inflected psychedelic odyssey that trades neon synth-pop for analog warmth, progressive structures, and a deep dive into 1960s freak-rock.

A saltwater-soaked world of vintage organs, surf-rock guitars, and modular synthesizers replaces the fluorescent dance-floor anthems of the debut. This is the sound of a band intentionally burning down their own pop stardom, delivering a restless, anxious tribute to their influences that plays like a transmission from a lost 1970s television station. The production is dense and cluttered, trading radio-friendly hooks for shifting time signatures and multi-part suites that reflect a deep unease with sudden fame.
