strike all dimensions of harmony on their new album VISUALS, out now via Lowly. / Wilder Records.

Crafting their new music was effortless and relaxing, which helped them emit the positive vibes that you hear on the VISUALS. New York-based Stroud and Hawaii & Oregon-based White found themselves writing and recording most of the new album together, unlike their 2018 debut album BIRDS DON'T FLY which was recorded mostly via electronic teleportation (aka email). Many of the new tracks started while at Agustin’s stripped back studio in Hawaii, inspired by the island vibes (and perhaps some microdosing), and were finished at Mike’s barn studio in upstate New York. VISUALS features a variety of instrumentation found in their studios including acoustic, electric and lap steel guitars, organ, synthesizers and the charango.

Throughout the album, the guys found that their best vocals are when their voices come together in the atmosphere and meet in harmony. However, on the summer-y and feel-good “FROSTY,” Mike takes over the rare lead vocal which is at the heart of one of the album’s standout tracks. Album opener “LEMON SWAYZE” was created with the mission of bringing listeners to their feet, dancing in exaltation while on a crazy joyride. The track’s title was inspired by a vision Agustin had of lemons as spaceships, induced by the consumption of a favorite cannabis strain, Lemon Cake.

After this summer’s initial digital release, VISUALS will be available on vinyl in late 2021
