He has established a unique style that is linked to the contemporary scene.
‘’Sugarcoat’’ is a dense sound that delves into the history of alternative rock, in addition to psychedelia and luscious pop. It’s lyrics ask many questions and reach out for someone to give them an answer, or for the answer to come from within. There are many uncertainties, both in the world and personally. Growing older, questioning past decisions, and the future being always unknown. “Sugarcoat’‘ presents the perspectives of both the indecisive and the wise.
