🎶 Music & Releases
Debut single: King of the Pricks (2022) — reached #17 in the Dandelion Radio Festive Fifty.
Debut album: The Light Just Bends (2024, Old Bad Habits / Teatime Records) — praised as a standout indiepop record full of sharp guitars, humour, and late‑blooming energy. Reviewers describe it as a “classic album for the C89 generation.”
Their songs often mix jangly guitars, post‑punk edges, and clever, sometimes cynical lyrics.
