We're delighted to announce that our debut album Fun Anxiety is out on Armellodie records today...you can buy it by clicking on the image below.






"A taut sounding slick record that pushes the emotive indie rock button and never lets up. 4/5" Norman Records


"Its quiet quality and variation is most apparent. 8.5/10" Loud Horizon


"If this were the seventies then this band would be massive. Nobody shied away from musical complexity then and it was common for an album to have a theme but the world today is a twisted and much simplified place. 4/5" Bluesbunny
