Salad Days

Sun-bleached guitars and tape-hiss warmth recorded in a Brooklyn apartment. A weary, introspective landmark of slacker rock that feels like a long afternoon.

April 1, 2014 · Captured Tracks

A sun-drenched, weary contemplation of growing up and slowing down.

Moments Worth Listening For

The woozy, pitch-bent synth lead on Chamber of Reflection that feels like a slow-motion carousel.

The way the guitar jangle on Blue Boy perfectly mimics the feeling of a nervous, overthinking mind.

The intimate, almost whispered acoustic strumming on Let My Baby Stay that breaks the album's electric haze.
