Marry Me

A dazzling debut of theatrical chamber pop and jagged art rock, where sweet, woodwind-laced melodies mask a sharp, sinister, and delightfully twisted lyrical edge.

Debut

Sweet woodwinds and bright brass mask a sharp, sinister undercurrent of jagged guitars. You are lured into a pastel-colored parlor that is quietly, delightfully coming apart at the seams.

Playful+2.4σ

A theatrical, almost childlike sense of playful mischief animates these arrangements, wrapping the underlying anxiety in the brightly colored paper of a twisted Disney soundtrack.
