I wrote "Never Leave Your Dreams Behind" for our son, Elijah, who was in Tel's womb at the time. He was just born on August 19th 💜
A melancholic, introspective, yet hopeful tune that looks to the future and closes the EP.
Peace & Love

Lightning Sun is the haunting & wistful title track of our new EP and provides a Lynchian anticlimactic feel to the waning summer. A chill lo-fi lost pop melody. Available on vinyl & cd on our Bandcamp.
Peace and Love,
Duncan & Tel

Only A Northern Song, the underrated George Harrison Beatles track that was recorded in 1967 and released in 1969. A fine piece of Beatles psychedelia. Have a cup of tea on this summer Saturday.
