Ingenious duo from Maryland whose dreamy pop symphonies are anchored in a perfectly otherworldly realm between indie rock and folk. This years new album, The Louder I Call The Faster It Runs, is the band’s most sophisticated and mature yet, intricate synth melodies are weaved effortlessly through cloudy squalls of guitar and lilting vocals, it’s a beautiful experience.
