Throughout its evolution, the band’s aim has always been the same; to think in terms of mood and atmosphere, rather than set genre. With influences being worked into the mix rather than imitated, the result blends into moments that flow across a spectrum, ranging from mellow, dreamy instances to other heavier, brooding ones.
