It’s Never Fair, Always True

JAWNY

Sun-drenched indie pop filtered through tape saturation and distorted bass. A restless, high-energy record that captures the grit of modern slacker rock.

It's like if a 90s skater found a high-end studio but decided to record everything through a broken cassette deck anyway.

A high-strung blend of summer euphoria and the gritty reality of a messy emotional life.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive shift from the lo-fi intro into the crunchy, distorted guitar riff of strawberry chainsaw
The way the rhythmic drive of adios suddenly dissolves into a hazy, psychedelic bridge
The sprawling nearly eight-minute conclusion of selfish hate that builds from a whisper to a chaotic wall of sound
