pets’ first record, 🌀❓(Spiral Question Mark), blends the band’s devout love for intimate song writing with an ambiance poised for the spotlight. The album is a long, charmed, rainy walk through their sonic influences–at times deep, dark and smoldering, but rendered soft, refined, buffed and polished. The culmination of a meticulous three-year long endeavor, 🌀❓(Spiral Question Mark) is a ballad heavy emotional tour-de-force, imbued with a rare closeness that begs the important question: Am I OK? …And while it appears to be clear that the members of pets revel in some dimly lit solitude, a light seems to shine brightly in the distance, getting closer with every song. This isn’t so much a breakup record, but a break down. So see you in the spiral.
