Thought Process
"Colder is incredibly well crafted with beautiful harmonies and intricate instrumentation. Poster Child is the lead track on the new album and it does a great job of pulling you in for a deeper listen. Try Poster Child as an early cut on your next party mix to help warm up the room, it's also great in campfire settings."
