slowly, long

Hey, were about to release our new gaze-pop single, 's l o w l y, l o n g', The single finds us embracing pop-centric melodic influences as much as the multitude of fuzz and reverb pedals that adorn our pedalboards. Lyrically the track speaks of unchecked desire being set free.

Hey Girl

by Fabian Secon

Hey! This is my new single "Hey Girl". I’ve always wanted to expand more into the punk/pop-punk world, as this comes very naturally to me. The melodies in my music have always been inspired by alternative, pop and rock music, so it was an obvious progression.
