Album Notes & Community Reviews

Gathering non-album tracks, single edits, and previously unreleased material spanning a decade of the Baltimore duo's career, this compilation highlights their remarkable sonic consistency. The sequence showcases Victoria Legrand's soaring, melancholic vocals gliding gracefully over Alex Scally's signature vintage drum machines and hypnotic synthesizer arpeggios. Despite being a collection of outtakes, it functions as a deeply cohesive, deeply romantic extension of their revered dream-pop catalog.
