A Brooklyn indie folk band whose lyrics often turned personal and unexpectedly heavy.
For a sense of their sound, try 'Same Old Song' or 'Hard As a Stone'. They give you that folk setup but with lyrics that dig a bit deeper.
Their track 'Oddness Of The Lord' is a good example of how they mixed folk with something a little more atmospheric. Elizabeth Esguerra called it exploring emotional complexity, which fits songs like 'Angel Of Sadness' from their catalog. It's not just gentle strumming; there's a weight to the writing that stuck with people.
They started with the EP 'Parks and Recreation' in 2010, then put out 'The Wonder Veers' the next year with 'My Dad' getting more notice. After the full-length 'Colonia' in 2012 and 'Bloom' in 2016, they kept going through a tour cancellation in 2013 and released 'Lavender' in 2021.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
