Fate

A lush, analog masterpiece of 1960s-inspired indie rock. Warm vocal harmonies and basement-born psychedelia create a record that feels like a rediscovered classic.

It sounds like a lost Beatles record found in a Philly basement, and it's even better than that sounds.

A soulful and communal celebration of nostalgia, blending basement grit with orchestral beauty.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The explosive, shouting vocal climax of The Rabbit, the Bat, and the Reindeer that feels like a shared catharsis.

The way the piano and strings swell together during the bridge of The Breeze, creating a massive, cinematic wall of sound.

The haunting, slowed-down psychedelic outro of The Beach that dissolves into a hazy sonic fog.
