Sea Change

A lush, somber breakup record defined by sweeping orchestral strings and weary acoustic folk. The sound of a desert highway at 3am.

The ultimate 'sad-boy' record that actually earns every single tear with beautiful strings and honest lyrics.

A weary, beautiful sound that offers a comforting and consoling sadness.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The way the strings on Paper Tiger swell into a tense, cinematic homage to Melody Nelson.

The sudden, jarring orchestral crescendo in Lonesome Tears that feels like a physical wave of grief.

The bone-dry, unadorned acoustic strumming that opens Lost Cause, making the room feel instantly smaller.
