The Last Gasp of a Dying Planet is our second album, spanning eleven songs written between 2022 and 2024. While our influences are wide-ranging— spaghetti Western soundtracks, drum and bass, techno, and ’90s grunge rock — these songs are tied together by themes of impending environmental doom, social alienation, and retro-futuristic nostalgia. The album’s namesake final track imagines a world where all this doom and gloom has come to fruition—reminiscent of the band that famously played on as the Titanic sank. Though still rooted in alt-rock, we’ve made our non-rock influences more explicit than ever. This can be heard in songs like Growing Pains and Gargoyle, which incorporate drum and bass-style beats, while The Fates leans into techno, replacing a snare with a sample pad to evoke nightclub electronica more than moshpit metal. Harvest Festival is perhaps our most folk-driven song to date, weaving together guitar, mandolin, and violin in a canon structure that recalls school hymns sung during autumn celebrations. Meanwhile, the final track, The Last Gasp of a Dying Planet, forgoes guitars entirely, relying instead on mandolin, piano, trumpet, violin, and drums. As a band, we’ve always borrowed freely from any sound we love, and that’s what makes our genre “rock plus”—or, as we call it, rock bizarre! credits released April 22, 2025
