Recorded and produced by Kendal Osborne with additional mixing and mastering byCoreyCoffman, the album flows with deliberate precision, the clear-cut rhythmic texturesare swathed by melodic yet striking guitar work. It is at once a gently comforting andmeditative listen with revelatory moments that catch you off guard. + support

A tulsa trio who signed to pure noise records, which reissued their second album downward ii in deluxe form with two new songs. The music is heavy-lidded shoegaze: washed-out guitars, buried vocals and a melancholy that never quite lifts. They call the record their second debut, seven years on from the first.
“it now feels like we have a mission. we just want to make something that's beautiful and that's going to be around.”
