WHAT IT IS: The New York trio broke through in 2016 with their dreamy, psychedelic, fuzzed-out debut album Human Ceremony, which houses key tracks “Easier Said” and “Wall Watcher.” The record was featured in a number of Best of the Year lists, including ones by Esquire, Entertainment Weekly and Rolling Stone. Their highly anticipated sophomore record Twentytwo in Blue arrives on 3/23, and lead tracks “I Was A Fool” and “Crisis Fest” have already received praise from N.Y. Times, Billboard, Entertainment Weekly, Pitchfork, MTV, NPR, Nylon, Under the Radar, Consequence of Sound, Paste, Stereogum and more.
