Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originally compiled for an exhibition by the artist Yoshitomo Nara, this EP is a quiet and beautifully melancholic collection of songs. 'Sleepless Night' features one new original track alongside a handful of covers of artists like The Byrds and Bob Dylan. It's a warm, mellow, and intimate release that perfectly captures the band's softer, more atmospheric folk-rock sensibilities.
