Grip Your Fist, I'm Heaven Bound

The debut album from the seven-piece group then known as Kingfisher, 'Grip Your Fist, I'm Heaven Bound' fuses gentle indie folk with cathartic, orchestral art-rock. The self-produced record blends layered guitars, brass, and strings with somber vocals and electronic samples, creating dynamic shifts from quiet, acoustic passages to distorted, improvisational peaks. Its ambitious sound and thematic focus on the trials of growing up established the framework for the band's later work as Racing Mount Pleasant.
