The band’s approach to songwriting is marked by a collaborative spirit, allowing diverse voices and perspectives to shape their sound.

Their storytelling tends to blend sincerity with irony, employing a conversational tone that resonates with listeners on multiple levels. This duality allows them to capture complex emotions while remaining relatable, making each song feel like a shared experience rather than just a performance.
