“We just want to make people feel something,” say Archer Oh of their beachy garage rock. Using their surfy, stringy sound to explore grief (‘Rotary’) and the insecurities that arise from unrequited love (‘Easy Eyes’), the band – which initially began as the solo project of guitarist and singer Arturo Medrano – formed in Moreno Valley in 2015. Sharing the stage with the likes of The Red Pears and Tijuana Panthers, the four-piece escaped to a secluded barn in the Mojave Desert in 2022 to record their psychedelic sophomore album, Gradients.
