Release Notes:
The 2AM EP is abundant with layers of lush harmonies, strong but modest melody,
crafted lyrics, and movement-based arrangements composed with an apartment-full
of sounds: trumpet, clarinet, mandolin, cello, and glockenspiel, supported by
found object percussion. Each instrument nestles into place subverting the staid
triumvirate of digital pop: acoustic guitar, bass, and organic drum sequencing.
The five songs are a celebration of all things minute, exploring themes of urban
quietude and reflection amidst disaffection, decay, and overdevelopment.
