Currently working on their 6th record, the band is looking to release 2 full length records a year.

Up & coming alt pop artist Stef released the 8 track ‘A Glitch in Our Virtual Reality’. You’ll like if you’re a fan of lower register dark pop ala Billie Eilish.

“High is about the feeling and imagination behind whatever gets you high; not just the obvious drugs/alcohol, but also about being lifted on living in the moment and taking it all as it comes. This past year has been a tough one for all of us and we hope “High” provides that escape that we’ve all been craving” shares the indie pop act.
