': ,: :, : What started as a quartet is now a quintet, though still led by : :' the smoky, ethereal lead vocals of Sam Sarty (vocals, trombone, ': ,: keyboard), who started singing in choirs at a young age.

Sarty finds that, ': ,: "Sometimes people are a little turned off and not living in the :, : now or being present. I find that when you perform, it's one of : :' the most present moments that you can be in. You're living in ': ,: the hour." :, : : :' Softer Faces was produced by Kurt Feldman (The Pains of Being ': ,: Pure at Heart, Chairlift, DIIV, Dum Dum Girls) in Living Hour’s :, : hometown Winnipeg, Manitoba at Exchange District Studios, and : :' mixed by Jarvis Taveniere (Real Estate, Woods, Blouse, ': ,: Widowspeak) at Thump Studios in Brooklyn. :, : : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 1 9 \/
