Album Notes & Community Reviews

The highly anticipated debut full-length from the Melbourne quintet is an impeccably crafted showcase of driving, guitar-centric indie pop. Characterized by their unique three-guitar attack and intertwining vocal melodies, the record balances incredibly breezy, sun-drenched jangle pop with subtle undercurrents of melancholic longing. It firmly established them as one of the most exciting and cohesive guitar bands of the late 2010s.
