The band describes their e.p., "Miles to Climb," as "mellow indie pop on the deep end
featuring pretty vocal harmonies and memorable hooks," and I would agree. They
use a nice instrumental blend including a relaxed, jazzy sax that really adds a richness
to the tunes.
Track listing:
01 Dead End Friend
02 Miles to Climb
03 Dark Day
04 The Living

My favorites are "The Living," what I interpreted as a contemplative song
questioning how the afterlife can compare to the meaning of "summer days, backyard, my dog
and little brother," and "Miles to Climb," involving a not too uncommon dichotomy in the
relationship between the relaxed character singing and the unsatisfied person described in the song. The song describes the subject as "a moth in flight, hovering in the lamplight," who "raced the light," conjuring
images of someone with nervous energy, always reaching for his or her great
expectations, in this case, only to find "a million miles to climb" and loneliness. These
lyrics contrast with the ultra-smooth voices intertwined with mellow guitar and meandering
sax and I found it to be a really pleasant song and a nice, thought-provoking e.p.
