Album Notes & Community Reviews

A companion EP to their album 'Summer Sun', 'Today Is the Day' features a shorter, more electric version of the title track, alongside new songs and alternate versions. The EP is a beautiful and eclectic collection that perfectly balances the band's different modes, from dreamy, atmospheric folk to energetic, feedback-laden noise pop. It stands as one of their most beloved and cohesive EPs.
