…a rock band, with generous helpings of down-tempo and a pop sensibility, and lyrics leaning to the dark side.

…a collection of musicians intent on creating—and expanding upon—deep grooves, beautiful melodies and provocative lyrics.

…led by some of the most beautiful vocal stylings this side of Jeff Buckley.

…the new name of a highly evolved Bay Area band formerly known as In Reverent Fear.

…filming a video for "Dark Divider," the first single off the forthcoming Sentimental Education—a song about which they say, "All the small bits of light in our lives are there.”

…Jarrod Taylor (vocals, guitars), Stephen Reinhardt (guitar), Jeff Tollefson (bass), Greg Francis (guitar, keyboard, percussion) and John Lazarus (drums).

…intent on writing beautiful music that is just as special to them as it is for anyone who comes across it.

…aspiring to retain their love of music while finding success within the industry.

…consistently doubting the state of things…in a good way.

…a group of perfectionists whose recording process goes something like this: write, rewrite, record, rearrange, rerecord, scrap, repeat…and dazzle.

…influenced by such artists as Tears for Fears, Radiohead, Sade and The Cardigans—though anything but derivative.

…all about making music feel good.

…the title of In Reverent Fear's last release, which was named best album in the 2007 Los Angeles Music Awards.

…a band that won't remain underground for long.
