Our new record 'Transient Memory' is now yours 🌀✨ This album is an experimental EP that shines a very loving light on the j-rock and math rock influences that have deeply shaped us as musicians. It's also Deirdre's first recordings with us 🥹 We hope you enjoy 🫶

Millennials and Gen Z are voting more and more to the left the older we get. Defying the historic trends because we are smart enough to know the right is a dead end.
The biggest swing in youth vote choice for Congress in decades. Dems +46 with Gen Z voters.

On this Election Day, we must vote to hold Donald Trump and his corrupt administration accountable. We must end Republican control over the Senate and House. Please get out and vote — and make sure your friends do as well.

Please remember to go vote tomorrow, and encourage your friends and family to do the same. No matter what you think of your local Democrats, there's a real chance that we can defeat the Republicans tomorrow which would weaken Trump and be a huge step toward fixing this country.

Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to find songs for movies, but it was always a job that was just out of reach. Until now! This year I worked with ‘The Toast’ as Music Supervisor. It’s a wedding comedy starring Jon Lovitz, and it’s premiering this weekend at the Austin Film Fest!
