A little over a year and a half into leading this band of twenty-somethings all in the thick of their pursuits, I needed this project to be something we could hold onto and ground us amidst all the growing pains. Especially now, in the midst of a global dimness, producing this EP was important in reminding ourselves what mattered the most: home; in all its stillness, in all its joy, and in all its beautiful mess.

This alternative R&B record will come down as our most important project yet, because from almost every angle, it’s us 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦. This went beyond the culmination of our individual creativity, as it turned out to be the sound we could settle into and grow old with, since we’re probably going to pursue this music dream for a loooong loooong time.

I didn’t bother going all deep and poetic with my songwriting, nor did we spend months producing some grand, figurative body of work. This EP called for something mundane!Whatever familiar, fuzzy feelings these tracks gave you were first felt by us, because we sought to pull from what we felt, and from nothing less than reality.

These 5 tracks are meant to reflect the ups and downs of loving, but definitely not as a linear path. So go cry, dance, and love endlessly! Wherever and however you wish ♾️
