    "slick, California-tinged rock'n'roll"
    - SPIN

    "The District-based four-piece delivers a superbly folky, harmony-happy pop track, the first single from the full-length debut, MIRRORS."
    - The Washington Post

    "That said, 'Equestrian,' with its layered-harmony chorus about mountains might just be the catchiest slice of folky-pop (or poppy-folk?) you'll hear all day."
    - My Old Kentucky Blog

Hot nights couldn't get that much longer Bare boned in the heat of the summer Red light flashes out of a window Like alley cats we soak it up, we mix and we mingle Stolen cars on the strip down at sunset Livin days like these hours are tragic Ask the kids on the street what's been shakin How long till I waste away in Hollywood Hollows Hey babe let's go to LA Head west don't delay It's the witching hour Your a west coast sensation Standard deviation Got your gold rush migration to pay In the night oh her spirit she greets me Visions, signs only serve to haunt me White dove, on the wings she flies me How long will I waste away in Hollywood Hollows She won't let me be LA won't let me be Set my soul free She won't let me be Hey babe let's go to LA Head west don't delay It's the witching hour Your a west coast sensation Media fixation Got your gold rush migration to pay

Monte Carlo 04:49
Baby, don't keep runnin about Goin' away for a while now why don't you call And you tell me stories of your trips overseas Fur laden beasts and diamond rings Baby, don't keep runnin about And when you see the light Illuminate your eyes Monte Carlo you keep in your dreams Along with horses, princes, and kings And I know I can leave in the night Just a moment in time, a moment in time Don't be scared of what you find In the night And when you see the light Illuminate your eyes Monte Carlo you keep in your dreams Along with horses, princes, and kings But I don't wanna leave in the night Just a moment in time Don't be scared of what you find In the night Come now, follow Your heart, young american soul I hear you crying out in the night I hear your heartbeat, on these dead end streets I hear you screaming out to the light

I slept in hills of wheat and pine Too many years have passed me by I come down from the mountain They offered me their finest wine We danced and drank to pass the time I come down from the mountain And as the light crept up in the hills I headed off for home Memories of times spent away Vanish into the sun You were found Living in the wild son In the wild living with the wild ones You were found living in the wild sun I come down from the mountain

I don't need from you another vacation The last one we spent was all in vain Got people asking me about our relations If it's alright with you, I'd rather stay Picture yourself among the scarlet canyons Stars beam down like burning rays The condition of my heart is far from stable Time passes away like a dark refrain We're just cool kids livin like the good times never end We just day dream, waste away in a stoned out summer's end We're just cool kids livin like the good times never end We just day drink, waste away in a stoned out summer's end They say we're cool kids, livin like the good times never end We just day dream, waste away in a stoned out summer's end So lazy, hazy on the things I might of said We just move on, and move out until we find a friend

If you go now, we could be better No questions asked, at all Beware when you’re, trackin my, whereabouts Who can who can who can who can Remember why we came No one no one no one no one Will ever feel the same Carry me through the fire, carry me through the fire Too late too late too late To ever feel the same Welcome to, what is our new life Old flames will pass Killin time till we, find what we’re, lookin for Who can who can who can who can Remember why we came No one No one No one No one Will ever feel the same Carry me through the fire Carry me through the fire Carry me through the fire Who can who can who can Remember why we came No one No one No one Will ever feel the same

Try to say good night as friends, wake up lovers in the Morning Guess I shoulda stayed in bed, but you know how I hate, to Be alone, its true Ask you to please hear me out, you say wait until Tomorrow You can find me at Le Barricou, I'll be drowning in my, Sorrows What can I say What can I say Was I a fool to love you What can I say What can I say Was I a fool to love you....like I do Ooh Like I do, like I do, like I do Is this what the scholars call, unrequited love I’ll take the sum of all the words I’ve said Cash em in, for your heart, for you Haven’t slept a wink in days Been flyin coast to coast The jetlag my heart has felt From loving you the most What can I say What can I say Was I a fool to love you What can I say What can I say I’m just a fool to love you....like I do Ooh Like I do, like I do, like I do

Winter wind chills me to the bone I got a woman who can't seem to stay home Taxman's knockin’ at my door And it's high high high time I hit the shore Morning dew meets me on my way Gotta find the little lady a place to stay And this feeling oh this feelin in my veins Oh its high high high time I hit the shore Take me to the river Plunge me to the murky depths Seal my fate With a kiss from your cold dead lips Come home to these people hangin’ round Lord knows, don't wanna have to let em down See my baby, she's gone and left me for good And it's high high high time i reached the shore Take me to the river Plunge me to the murky depths Seal my fate With a kiss from your cold dead lips Give up the ghost that you're feelin’ most of the time You must know you're always always on my mind And I'm reelin’, feelin’ old The healin’, is takin’ hold Give up the ghost that you're feelin’ most of the time She had a way with words Cut like diamonds but smoother than pearls And I don’t really know where she’s been And I don’t no I don’t really care where she’s been They're gonna say I'm getting too old Out in the pasture just lookin for gold And this feelin’ oh this feelin’ in my veins Don't really know don't really care where it came And it's high high high time I reached the shore

Ain't got no money for your pretty things Don't need no pity just listen to me Girl you got taste but you got lyin eyes There's a strong desert wind And its creepin, creepin in Across the waves across the sky The taste, on your lips feel the blood drip down to your open hands Her eyes, witches eyes They'll steal the only soul that you've ever known As we walk down this desert road Feel the sun leech life from my bones We both know, there’s no turning back As the vultures fly overhead Ah they're circlin’ circlin’ the dead Place your blame down, no one's goin home Evenings dawn spread across the tapestry of the sky Watchful eyes, never knowing quite what they mean Careful footseps on the waking of the dawn Watch Oh this is the season of, my prime We're gonna lay her down in the sands of time Oh baby please you know I'm with you all way Don’t doubt me now, not another day Oh sister please, you know I hear you call I’m gonna lay you down, ah baby now Oh people please won’t you hear me call I’ll lay you down, oh sister now, oh baby now They ain’t comin’ for me, ah babe Our time has come, just let me be

Voice Memo 04:11
When your money's all gone And your cold and all alone The morning has come and you know Now you can't go home Won't you lead me to the depths of the ocean floor And I said won't you lead me to the depths of the ocean floor Where I, where I, Where I hope to find rest some rest for my troubled soul Where I hope to find rest some rest for my troubled soul I said won't you lead me to the depths of the ocean floor And I said won't you lead me to the depths of the ocean floor We'll follow the trains out to the horizon Take my hand lest we fall apart We’ll follow the trains out to the horizon Take my hand lest we fall apart With the sun on my face and the moon at my back Inhabit each others dreams just for a while With the sun on my face and the moon at my back Inhabit each others dreams just for a while Just lie in the grass with you and your sister Remember a time when we could touch the stars Just lie in the grass with you and your sister Remember when we could touch the stars Now won’t you lead me to the depths of the ocean floor
