Debut EP, Sold As Scene

"Sold As Scene is a wonder. It sounds monumental and never misses a beat. It's talented, precocious, imaginative, but heartfelt. It's rustic, it's psychedelic; it's rooted in the past, but is living in the NOW. Anyone with ears will love this EP. "    Click here to see full review.​

4.5 out of 5 - Top Album
Out now, new single, Calico
“Sold As Scene” is Influenced by the melodic melancholy and the intimate lyricism of  Jeff Bukley and Elliot Smith, but equally entranced by the power pop hooks of Teenage Fanclub and Big Star. This EP is a tale of lost souls, a lack of belonging and it evokes simpler times when the quest for melody was king, and when Laurel Canyon was the place for any songwriter to be.
Acoustic version, Restoration Song
