Eureka
Sun-drenched power pop built on soaring 70s harmonies and neon synth hooks. It is the sound of a permanent California summer captured in forty minutes.

Eureka is a masterclass in the kind of bright, melodic craftsmanship that feels increasingly rare. It sounds like the intersection of 1970s AM radio gold and the indie-pop sensibilities of the early 2010s. Every track is anchored by Robert Schwartzman’s earnest vocals and a relentless commitment to the hook, whether it is delivered via a crunchy guitar riff or a shimmering synthesizer line. The album feels incredibly liberated, likely a result of the band releasing it on their own label, allowing them to lean fully into their most shamelessly catchy instincts.
