" Think shimmering guitar lines, taut drum beats, and echoing vocals, all liberally borrowed from dark `80s pop bands while still sounding wholly of the moment." - ELLE

You may know them from their infectious single “Black Magic” from their debut album Aloha Moon featuring, Teenage Love & Space which was praised by Spin magazine as “a sexy and propulsive stunner” and earned the band opening slots for The Kills, The Horrors, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Black Keys and more. The band returns with a bigger even dreamier sound with their most ambitious album to date, self-produced & featuring cosmic layered guitar tracks, swirling pop vocals, and driving uptempo beats.
