Today, the English indie rock trio in earnest releases their self-titled debut EP with six personal, moving tracks. The EP was recorded in a converted barn in single takes, which leads to a organic, honest sound.

Sarah and Thomas, who take turns on vocals, were so kind to give us the background of each of the six tracks.
