Album Notes & Community Reviews

Formed by Pall Jenkins and Tobias Nathaniel of the San Diego post-hardcore band Three Mile Pilot, this debut pivots entirely into bleak, cinematic sorrow. The sparse arrangements prioritize dusty pianos, musical saws, and mournful vocal deliveries, crafting a uniquely gothic, slow-burning aesthetic that bridges indie rock with dark cabaret.
