A 2021 summer spark morphed into a five-year labor of love as life happened (surgery after a bike accident, audio engineering school, fatherhood). It ultimately led to this highly collaborative, triumphant blend of shimmering indie pop and melancholic 80s new wave, solid and charming. The addictive standout track <em>The City Feels (like home)<\/em> beams with civic pride, but the remaining four songs are also compelling. Although we were not previously aware of this creative process, the result was entirely worth the wait. Hopefully more will follow soon.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nlCK9gEeAxY?si=tjHbVLyyBzr5r55z\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/soundcloud%253Atracks%253A2286375260&amp;color=%23ff0047&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;show_teaser=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>The Great Now<\/em> is out now streaming via Murray B.
