Victory Laps is a collection of harmonies and melodies that the muses granted me on car rides and commutes between 2018-2020. It's about solitude and watching those you hold dear move on after college but it's also about positivity and best efforts. Structurally a pop album, semantically it reveals shades of punk, post hardcore, and post rock.
