Let's bring in the New year with a giant night of high energy Indie Rock, Dream Pop, & Dance Party! The band began to find their musical voice creating this album, splitting time during the pandemic between Winona, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, and Nick's wife's family farm in Northfield, Minnesota. Leaving comfortable approaches behind, Mike helped the group tread into new sonic territory.
