“Born In Early May” combines grunge’s raw vocal style with distorted guitar sounds and a haunting atmosphere that turns inward.

The music and lyrics work together to build a powerful sense of soul searching, pulling the listener into a reflective space where the rawness of grunge amplifies the tracks melancholic beauty.
