stripes. / Nuclear Family / Sunsick Daisy / Pity Lips

Exploring the fragility of young adulthood and the joys of growing up, "stripes." blends the soft, amateurish nature of Midwest Emo with that of the complexity of Math Rock; adding their own pinch of chaos and nostalgia. The two-piece quickly turned heads with their combination of the unusual but pretty sounding guitar, hard hitting drums and relatable lyrics.

The duo's debut EP "duckpond." deep dives into the on-going conversations about fitting in, young love and the depressive nature of growing up. Beautiful open guitar tunings, tapping, graceful but powerful drumming and the odd pop culture reference make "duckpond." the perfect coming to age soundtrack.
