Follies & Vices sounds like the exact moment a panic attack turns into a dance party. It is a neon-soaked collision of polished 2010s indie pop and the raw, jittery energy of garage rock. The guitars are often coated in a layer of fuzz, while the synths provide a shimmering, almost cinematic backdrop that keeps the songs feeling massive and radio-ready despite their internal chaos.
What truly sets them apart is the friction between the upbeat, driving production and the deeply vulnerable, often cynical lyrical content. They specialize in the 'sad-banger' - songs that make you want to jump around while simultaneously nodding along to lines about rehab, regret, and the absurdity of modern life. It is music for people who find comfort in the loud, the fast, and the slightly messy.
Start with the album 'Ground All Day' to hear their most refined balance of electronic textures and rock grit. It captures their signature ability to turn heavy emotional themes into infectious, high-octane anthems that feel equally at home in a basement show or a late-night city drive.
