Sleep Through the Static

Analog-warm folk recorded entirely on solar power. A slightly darker, more electric evolution of the surf-folk sound, trading bright sun for contemplative shade.

It's the Jack Johnson album for people who like rainy days better than sunny ones.

A grounded, slightly weary sense of peace that feels like a quiet room in a busy world.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The subtle, bluesy electric guitar lick that snakes through the title track's rhythmic foundation.
The sudden, intimate vulnerability of the piano-led 'What You Thought You Need' stretching past five minutes.
The way the drums hit with a soft, thudding woodiness on 'If I Had Eyes' that feels like a heartbeat.
