On ‘Lyra’, the band (reduced to a quartet) weave a narrative influenced by post-rock, jazz, and minimalism, continuously evolving in intensity before attaining its cathartic peak. Built around a hard-hitting rhythm section, hypnotising piano patterns roll seamlessly into jolting, Reichian guitar loops.

“Smile is a track about regret and asking forgiveness, and letting bygones be bygones.

You smile at one, he smiles at you, and so one smile makes two». Haha, it’s kind of stupid, but I really like that. And it’s kind of true as well. Smiles are cool.
