Dark on Fire

A muscular, live-recorded pivot toward electric rock. Darker and denser than their debut, it balances fragile falsetto with a gritty, full-band urgency.

It's like their early folk stuff grew up, bought an electric guitar, and started hanging out in late-night jazz clubs.

A sophisticated blend of late-night anxiety and melodic warmth, feeling both expansive and deeply intimate.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The explosive full-band entry on the title track that shifts the album from folk to muscular rock.

The haunting, layered vocal harmonies during the bridge of Ghost that create a ghostly choral effect.

The raw, bluesy electric guitar solo in Stalker that feels more aggressive than their previous work.
