Pod

Dry, skeletal rock with heavy basslines and breathy harmonies. Recorded by Steve Albini, it captures a raw, spontaneous energy that feels both intimate and dangerous.

It sounds like a band playing in your living room while you try to figure out if they're joking or threatening you.

A tense, skeletal collection of songs that feel like private thoughts caught on tape.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The unsettlingly intimate vocal harmonies on Doe that feel like they are being whispered directly into your ear.

The explosive, jagged transition into the chorus of Hellbound where the drums suddenly snap into a heavy groove.

The sparse, skeletal reimagining of Happiness Is a Warm Gun that strips the original of its polish for something far more sinister.
