Takers and Leavers

Dusty, tape-saturated indie rock that sounds like a long-lost 1970s radio transmission. Warm harmonies meet existential lyrics in a basement-born psychedelic haze.

It’s like finding a box of your dad's old psych-rock tapes, but the lyrics are actually about your life.

A warm, dusty embrace that acknowledges the sadness of mortality while still finding a reason to sing.

Moments Worth Waiting For
the sudden transition from the macabre lyrics of Goner into the jaunty, piano-driven bridge
the way the vocal harmonies swell and break like waves during the chorus of California
the extended, hypnotic instrumental fade-out of Livin' a Dream that feels like a slow-motion descent
