Album Notes & Community Reviews

Emerging from the Washington D.C. rock scene, the band's second album is a masterclass in highly melodic, meticulously arranged psychedelic pop. Emphasizing intricate vocal harmonies, fluid basslines, and jazz-inflected drumming, the record presents a softer, more introspective alternative to the aggressive garage rock dominating the era.
