Description
Piano-based indie rock trio from NYC that is mature & melodic but explosive when it needs to be. Recorded all-analog to evoke sounds & textures of the 60s, with a modern songwriting approach influenced by artists like Radiohead, Coldplay, & Keane.
Notes
"[The album] is home to layers of swirling colors and subtle sonic revelations. Hourglass, named for the feeling cultivated by its title track, is an album marked by exceptional attention to detail that rewards repeat listens and suggests the young group's potential."
- Dan Mazanec, Freelance music critic and Director of Operations at www.spindividual.com
"Rating: 8 out of 10
This very much an album of the time. A very contemporary sound, but with an underlying maturity that is just a pleasure to listen to."
