“Musically, the album pairs lo fi indie rock, jangle pop, and folk with concise songwriting, favoring melody, atmosphere, and emotional honesty over excess”
Where jangly melody meets emotional honesty: Inland Years delivers a lo-fi indie-folk gem where memories blur with dreams and thirteen brief songs capture the ache of looking backward while moving forward. Never the Bridle threads modern motherhood, trauma, and lofi self-reflection through borrowed flutes and Hello Kitty picks with grit and humour.

With Stones in His Pockets rounds things out with gothic-folk explorations of doppelgangers and uncomfortable truths.
