Single: Mitch Currie Comes Back From the Edge of the World on ‘Shininin”
When Mitch Currie spent four months in South East Asia back in 2017, it was probably with the intention of getting some life experience and a bit of experience. He got more than he bargained for, and as his adventure wound down, he found himself in trouble on the far side of the planet.

The math-rock duo expertly pairs Cook’s guitar noodling to Scott Dincorn’s precision percussion on “Lonely Habits” as they lament the idea of another drink.
