one-headed boy Very chill and accessible instrumentals with vibrant endearing lyrics and light storytelling. Feels like a nice pat on the back for indie rock nerds. Lots of cute lyrical references to classic indie artists (Elliott, DCFC,) Favorite track: Compete With Your Own Ghost.

about

balacade Victoria, British Columbia

I call the Pacific Northwest home, and absolutely love bands from the 90's. My influences include Grandaddy, Sparklehorse, Neil Young, and Elliott Smith. If I could travel back in time, I'd be heading on tour opening for Grandaddy. ... more
