After many delays, our new song, “Used To Be,” is finally available on Apple Music. We have been experiencing a number of issues working with our new digital music distributor related to the band name, which has been exacerbated by recent policy changes at Apple. It’s looking more and more like we will be officially returning to the original band name to avoid further problems. In any case, we hope you enjoy the new song and look forward to more music from us in the new year!

The perfect soundtrack for late summer moving into early autumn.

In contrast to the darker and more despairing vibe of “Noumenon,” the duo’s new release invites quiet meditation.
