Spoon and Rafter

Hazy, reverb-soaked folk that stretches the band's intimate sound into longer, more experimental shapes. Warm pedal steel meets whispered late-night confessions.

It's the perfect soundtrack for when you're feeling a little lonely but want to lean into the beauty of it.

A shimmering, nocturnal sadness that feels like being wrapped in a warm, heavy blanket.

Moments Worth Waiting For

the sprawling nine-minute ascent of Bluebird of Happiness where the band trades their usual brevity for a slow-motion psychedelic jam

the heartbreakingly fragile vocal delivery on Hard to Miss You that feels like a secret shared in a small room

the way the organ and pedal steel bleed into one another during the bridge of Battle of the Broken Hearts
