Hagata

Kill Rock Stars • Pop/Rock

The songs of this album bear an eerie yet somehow familiar sensation. Japanese pop tones, Serge Gainsbourg grandeur, folk whisper, and Brazilian surf rock all mix into the psychedelic stew.

The Dirty Nil

Free Rein to Passions

Dine Alone Music Inc. • Pop/Rock

This album keeps things simple lyrically and doesn’t get bogged down with overly complicated messaging. Nothing overwrought, just songs about working soul-sucking jobs, shredding on guitar, and striving to be a kinder person.
