How to: Friend, Love, Freefall

Rainbow Kitten Surprise

Appalachian folk roots collide with hip-hop cadences and syncopated bass. A restless, soulful exploration of identity and existential vertigo.

It's like if a mountain-folk band grew up listening to Outkast and decided to write songs about their feelings.

A restless and soulful search for identity that feels like a controlled tumble through the dark.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The rhythmic, rapid-fire vocal delivery in 'Fever Pitch' that mimics a hip-hop flow over indie-rock instrumentation
The haunting, stripped-back opening of 'It’s Called: Freefall' that builds into a soulful, existential anthem
The intricate vocal harmonies and soaring emotional peak during the bridge of 'Hide'
The way the bass line drives the momentum of 'Holy War' against a backdrop of religious imagery
