Imagine a late night cab ride that leaves you on the corner of Sounds and Words, the point where you leave the comfort of silence and enter a collage of sounds past and present, and you catch a glimpse of the future. A mesmerizing guitar drifts from a noisy club and meets drums and bass in tune as one, propelling a rhythmic bliss met at once by a voice of uncommonly life-like feel. You feel the voice in that moment; you’ve heard it in a morning dream just as you have on a lively night like this. Melody rises and transforms into an explosive, uplifting chorus that grabs your senses and wraps itself around your soul in a manner that music is supposed to do. Your hunger for it surfaces, and you find you want more.The sound leaves you entranced, tugging at you as the foursome continues on its journey. You suddenly feel you are living its compelling sound, something unlike anything you've heard.

Press Info

The Seattle Times
Tom Scanlon
"...it's a layered-yet-clean sound that is imaginative and well executed, filled with laid-back rock grooves that spiral in on themselves. Cates has a pleasantly languid voice, sounding like he's singing in his sleep, verbalizing dreams to the stream-of-unconsciousness guitar and bass mix."


The Seattle Weekly
Paul Fontana
"Jay Cates' restrained vocals find a perfectly suitable context in the bend's dreamy, hook-filled guitar wash, but his presence is too haunted and detached to ever get lost in it."


Tacoma Reporter
Matt Driscoll
"Sparing the too often Radiohead comparison, what's safe to say is they're definitely talented musicians, making surprisingly definite music. Bravo to the bend for their individuality"
