Literary indie rock defined by baritone confessions and soaring violins. A cinematic exploration of heartbreak, urban loneliness, and high-stakes emotional release.

It's like reading a great novel about a breakup, but with massive violins and guitars that make you want to scream along.

A high-stakes emotional journey that moves from quiet, literate observation to explosive, string-drenched catharsis.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The slow-burn build of Sometime Around Midnight where the violin and drums reach a frantic, desperate peak.
The jagged, post-punk guitar riff that drives the nervous energy of Gasoline.
The sprawling, nearly seven-minute emotional exhale of Innocence that closes the record with orchestral weight.
