we’ve got a new ep out today called HAPPY IN THE MEANTIME.
4 songs about:
postponing the inevitable
your lost security deposit
the fact that nothing is guaranteed – ever
how hard it is to feel heard when it gets darkor something like that.

Their garage pop proves just as charming as ever on the four-song EP. Bassist/vocalist Claire England sounds like Hayley Williams’ grungier sister in the catchy first tune, “Run.” “No One In My Life Can Hear Me Scream” is the perfect song to soundtrack the release of your inner angst, with guitarist and singer Peter Richards seeming half-resigned to his fate and half-raging against the world. The tracks all have a sense of desperate urgency about them—even the titles themselves feel insistent. With fuzzy guitar and Andrew Hall’s enthusiastic drumming, the EP sounds ready for blasting on your next rainy road trip.
