53 Thieves is a Los Angeles band led by singer-songwriter Drew Ryan Scott. Their name comes from a childhood story Scott remembered about thieves stealing the moon, which gives a sense of the dreamy, slightly off-kilter atmosphere they aim for in their music.
In 2022, they released the single "Dreamin'," which became their breakout track. The song's hazy melody and themes of longing connected with listeners, helping define their sound as a mix of indie rock and pop with a reflective quality. Other songs like "Too Slow" and "Nighttime" follow a similar path of melodic, introspective writing.
The band includes Scott along with bassist Ethan Roberts, drummer Dylan Ryan, and guitarist Alex Kennedy. They've released EPs like "The Thieves" and "Dreamin'," and put out a debut album called "In the Shadows of Sleep" in 2024.
