The make a weird brand of melancholy pop. The music itself is undeniably indie pop, and could almost be described using those old cliches such as “sunny” and “breezy”. But frontman Matt Geas has these really cool, almost Krug-esque, warbling vocals which somehow skew things. He sounds a little desperate, emotionally unstable, certainly neither “sunny” or “breezy”.

The final song ‘Way Gross’ dials down the pop elements a little and offers a straighter shot of unbalanced melancholy. It ends with the lines “You have everything you need to cut my neck and let me bleed out / Just let me bleed all out”. 

You can get the EP on a pay-what-you-want basis over at Bandcamp. While you’re there, be sure to check out their previous EP, Second EP, which is also great.
