A Brooklyn-based band dedicated to pushing the envelope of experimental sonic practices. For the five multi-instrumentalists and audio engineers, moving into a maze of a house in Brooklyn together was the transition that created the album they had been writing their whole lives.

 

Melding DIY recording and experimental sonic visions with studio quality, their debut album,  “Channels," is a layered bed of adventurous, pain-pop songs that coalesce around a digitally-stimulated, emotionally-serrated brand of modern shoegaze. "Channels" is out now everywhere on Kanine Records.
