Our latest single “𝑫𝑬𝑺𝑻𝑹𝑶𝒀” is out now!!! This song was both incredibly hard and easy to write at the same time. For myself (Jill) I felt like I had to close a certain chapter in my life to really move on, a chapter was very present on our record “Everything At Once”. The journey of growing and healing is a weird one because a part of you feels so happy to be doing better, and another has a hard time letting that era go. I think it can come from feeling protective over the person it made you in the long run (Or maybe it’s just the part of grief that wants change and loss to feel fresh and recent - because why else would it hurt that much?) “Destroy” concludes a long journey of trying to understand how change is an inherent part of life. A journey about how love and grief are two sides of the same coin. A reminder that sometimes the people that you think will be in your life forever won’t be, and in the end that is okay.

𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐑𝐃 “𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐓 𝐎𝐍𝐂𝐄” 𝐈𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 🖤💖🖤💖 Wow...what a surreal feeling it is to imagine that this record is out in the world now. This record is so special to us and creating it taught us so many lessons. All of these songs, amongst the chaos of life, resolve to the beautiful and harsh reality that as humans we have no choice but to experience everything at once. The good, the bad, the grief, the joy, the love, the hardships, inspiration. 
     A huge special thanks to @mustinjeli our producer, for being such an incredible human to work with as always. For believing in our songs and guiding us so intentionally through the story we wanted to tell.
     To @littlelumber856 and @conorfreeborn who have helped us every step of the way with such genuine generosity and openess throughout our campaign. You both are just remarkable humans.
     To the legendary @heba_kadry for mastering the album so beautifully. 
     To @lourdeslasala (photography) and @tannerjcurrie (graphic design), for making the visual world of our dreams for this record.  To @chaletrecordingstudio Dave and She, for being the warmest hosts while we chipped away at recording these songs.
     To you, for sticking with us throughout it all, while the world keeps spinning. Here’s to Everything At Once <3

“𝑺𝑼𝑹𝑽𝑰𝑽𝑨𝑳 𝑴𝑶𝑫𝑬” is for when the finish line hits like a tropical heat. We recorded this song starting on Jan 2nd, while we were still deep in the new year’s inquire of reflection. “Survival Mode” shines a light on that fact that we don’t always know that we are nearly surviving. Sometimes it’s not until the finish line hits us like unexpected heatwave that you realize you’ve been living day to day by on pure copium (lol). Here’s to honouring making it to the other side and not shaming what survival mode looked like behind us. Let the relief hit, and feel it. produced and mixed by @justinmeli mastered by @willyipmusic shot by @clairebaldwin_ special thanks to @flyingcoloursmusic #dreampop #shoegaze #dreamo #newmusic #alternativerock
