Frontman Leo Song penned what he described as a “breakup album with God”. The 8-track album, out today, plays like a single, cohesive piece. Live performances and instruments, a hearkening back to the time when people made music.

With mix production help from cult-followed mix engineer Michael Brauer (Coldplay, John Mayer, Grizzly Bear), the band brings all the bombast of the 2005 indie-rock heyday. Highly esoteric, voyeuristic and guilty of oversharing, the album makes good, scratching off a checklist of 2000s anthemic indie rock must haves.

The Farewell Folks is a self titled debut record released November 28th, 2024.
