Over time, perspective cycles back around. No matter how much you see, experience, learn, and live, you can always re-identify and recapture the magic around you. My Epic—Aaron Stone [guitar, vocals], Tanner Morita [guitar], and Nate Washburn [guitar, bass]—tune into this moment of reawakening on their fourth full-length offering and Tooth & Nail Records debut, Loriella.

Balancing waves of warm distorted fuzz with lush melodies and cinematic production, the group make the kind of music that rouses the senses and might just encourage you to open your eyes, mind, and heart a little wider… “The record is about having lived long enough to lose your innocence and still being able to find joy, hope, peace, and faith,” explains Aaron. “I can be a critical person, but there’s a difference between being critical and cynical. I understand why people end up choosing cynicism, because sometimes it can seem like the best way to make sense of all the data in the world–but I think cynicism is death. It’s part of my aim to fight cynicism at every turn. The album is about discovery and re-engaging life with purpose on new terms of your own.”
