The Kiss of Morning

A fragile, morning-after record that trades jittery garage rock for warm acoustic folk, harmonica blues, and raw, hungover honesty.

It's the ultimate 'morning after' record for when you need a warm acoustic guitar and a bit of honest soul.

A weary but hopeful meditation on sobriety and solitude, wrapped in warm acoustic textures.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The transition from the abrasive, distorted 'Escape Song' into the fragile, wood-paneled intimacy of 'Locked Doors'.

The weary, soulful harmonica solo on 'Bitter Tears' that feels like a physical sigh of exhaustion.

The way 'Good Times' builds into a sprawling, psychedelic folk coda that refuses to end the album on a simple note.
