"This duo's heroic, orchestral indie rock was made for big feelings and big moments. Layered with choirs and gusty chords, the soundtrack is magical, harrowing, and gorgeous. Part musical and part internal monologue, it channels the surging energy of Arcade Fire and Band of Horses while recharging the role of a movie score"--iTunes.
