Moms

Aggressive, rhythmically complex art rock built on distorted baritone sax and jagged loops. A deeply personal exploration of family trauma and maternal absence.

It's like a therapy session where the therapist plays a distorted baritone sax and hits the drums really hard.

A restless and confrontational exploration of family trauma that balances technical precision with raw emotional outbursts.

Moments Worth Waiting For

the explosive entry of the distorted baritone saxophone on Plumage that sets a new aggressive tone for the duo

the vulnerable lyrical pivot in Heavy Is as Heavy Does where the percussion drops to reveal a raw confession about fatherhood

the sprawling thirteen minute conclusion of Peace Out that dissolves from structured rock into a meditative ambient drift
