When It Was Now

Shimmering, rhythmic indie rock defined by melodic basslines and crystalline production. A high-energy snapshot of the 2010s synth-pop crossover era.

It's the ultimate 'windows-down' record for when you want indie hooks that actually make you want to move.

A high-kinetic blend of restless energy and polished optimism.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The precision of the muted guitar riff on 'If So' that locks perfectly with the snare hit

The way the bassline on 'Trojans' carries the entire melodic weight of the verse

The sudden expansion of the stereo field when the synths swell during the bridge of 'Electric'
