Songs of God and Whiskey

A raw, unpolished collection of acoustic-driven rock. Stripped of the band's usual orchestral polish, these tracks feel like late-night confessions in a dive bar.

Find on Amazon

It's the band's secret acoustic record that sounds like a long night at a dive bar with a novelist.

A weary, whiskey-soaked reflection on faith and failure that feels both urgent and exhausted.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden, desperate vocal strain in the final chorus of Poor Isaac where the acoustic strumming turns violent.
The way the room noise and heavy breathing are left in the mix on Cocaine and Abel, making the listener feel uncomfortably close.
The frantic, almost punk-rock energy of the drums kicking in halfway through The Fall of Rome to close the record.
