Past Was Faster

Kelley Stoltz

Grainy, four-track psych-pop recorded over five years. A dusty collection of home-taped melodies that feel like a rediscovered reel from a San Francisco basement.

It sounds like a psych-pop classic that's been buried in a backyard for thirty years and just got dug up.

A hazy, nostalgic retreat into home-recorded solitude and vintage daydreams.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the tape hiss becomes its own instrument on the sprawling final track
The fragile, slightly out-of-tune piano melody that anchors Fog Has Lifted
The sudden clarity of the vocal harmonies emerging from the murky production on Cardinal Body
