“The indie rockers take your ears on a journey for those first moments where they add shoegaze, Britpop, and psych elements to their signature sound. Pop heavy hooks, catchy lyrics, and a fuzzy guitar with snappy drums are all over. The way in which this band mixes multiple hooks with pop melodies without coming off soft, is pretty damn magical.” - David Garrick - Free Press Houston
