Hummingbird

A heavy, reverb-soaked exploration of grief and transition. Intricate percussion and ghostly harmonies recorded during a cold Brooklyn winter.

It's the musical equivalent of a good cry in a dark room where the drums eventually pull you back up.

A heavy, communal processing of grief that finds beauty in the wreckage of loss.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive, drum-heavy climax of Colombia where the grief finally breaks into a desperate vocal plea
The way the guitar line in Breakers mimics a literal wave crashing and receding against a steady beat
The haunting, isolated piano opening of Mt. Washington that feels like a cold morning in the mountains
