Tubeway Army, “Me, I Disconnect From You”


One of our favorite Gary Numan jams and a big inspiration for our new recordings. Gary has a special way of breathing life into electronic instruments. Everything sounds fluid and breathing.

Beach Boys, “Feel Flows”


It took a while for our Beach Boys knowledge to expand beyond “California Girls” era and Pet Sounds. Truthfully, it was an embarrassingly long time. Brian Wilson or no, there is a lot of amazing jams in the later catalog. This is a great one!

Alex Cameron and Angel Olsen, “Strangers Kiss”


Alex Cameron is pound for pound our favorite new lyricist, and Angel Olsen is our favorite singer. How can you lose!
