Re-Arrange Us

Lush piano arrangements and sweeping strings replace the duo's signature organ buzz. A mature, orchestral take on indie pop that feels like a warm exhale.

It's the Mates of State album where they grew up, traded the organ for a piano, and made everything sound like a sunny morning.

A bright, mature reflection on growth and partnership delivered through lush, orchestral arrangements.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the driving piano of 'Get Better' into the soaring, string-laden chorus that signals the album's new sonic scale.
The way the vocal lines in 'The Re-Arranger' weave around each other over a steady, heartbeat-like drum pattern.
The sudden, bright burst of horns that elevates the bridge of 'My Only Offer' into a moment of pure baroque pop bliss.
