Debut album of atmospheric experimental pop, featuring two members of local powerhouse Dope Body. This project tones down the volume of that band a bit, in favor of heady, creatively spacy songcraft.

Indeed, one may be tempted to throw the overused words "chillwave" and "tropical" around, but those labels fail to fully capture the layered kitchen-sink production, dub-inflected rhythms and oddly memorable hooks on this album.

Be sure to catch them at the record release show at Soft House on Sept. 3rd with Flock of Dimes, Other Colors, and Real/ Cool Magic, where we'll have copies available. You can also order the LP (which includes a free digital download) over at our bandcamp page.
