On their debut album The Aches and the End, Flint Moore channel raw vulnerability—from the acoustic despair of “Undermask” through the urgent bass pulse of “Me Alive” to the cathartic release of “Long Way, Same Ground”—into a single, cohesive narrative. Forged via their playful “compromise soup,” college‑friend chemistry, and the guiding hand of producer Tom Peters, they move from crisis to healing with unflinching honesty and hard‑won hope.
