Four albums, in order. 5 pieces in this section, written about what is on the records.

Love the Cup — The First Run
A short, sharp opening statement that already sounds like the finished band.

The Repulsion Box — Tightened
Faster, harder and more direct, with the twin vocal pushed to the front.

This Gift — The Big Production
Cleaner lines and a bigger room, and what that did to the songs.

Colder, more mechanical, and the most atmospheric thing they made.

The Run, Vertically
-
2004
Love the Cup
Debut album
Eight songs, close and dry, the twin vocal already doing everything it would ever do. Nothing padded, nothing reaching.
-
2005
The Repulsion Box
Second album
The same instincts pulled another notch toward the red — faster, heavier, the two voices pushed up until they are the thing you cannot avoid.
-
2008
This Gift
Third album · Produced by Youth
A bigger room and cleaner lines. The hooks were always there; this is the record that made space for them to hit.
-
2011
Mirror Mirror
Fourth album
Colder and more mechanical, atmosphere doing the work that momentum used to. The line ends here, deliberately.
