Flaws

A radical pivot into hushed, fingerpicked folk. Stripped of their electric energy, these songs breathe through warm acoustic guitars and fragile vocal harmonies.

It's like the band turned off all the lights and sat down with just an acoustic guitar and a banjo.

A quiet, sun-dappled vulnerability that feels both fragile and deeply comforting.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The delicate fingerpicking on 'Rinse Me Down' that feels like water droplets hitting a surface.
The hauntingly quiet vocal harmonies on the cover of 'Swansea' that elevate the track to a spiritual level.
The way 'Dust on the Ground' transforms from its original rock version into a skeletal, rhythmic folk piece.
