Wasting Light
Recorded in a garage on analog tape, this is a heavy, hook-filled return to form. It captures the raw, physical energy of three guitars and thunderous drums.

A vibrating, analog heat radiates from these recordings, capturing a band stripping away digital safety nets to rediscover their rawest collective pulse. Recorded entirely on tape in a California garage, the music trades clinical perfection for a thick, three-guitar wall of sound that feels remarkably focused and physically urgent. By pushing the vocals to the absolute edge of failure over pummeling, concrete-reverberating drums, the performance celebrates the unvarnished imperfections of a live band playing in a tight, hot room.
