Graham Epstein and Justine Dorsey built After around a shared birthday and a sonic sensibility that splits the difference between late-'90s bedroom melancholy and early-2000s radio polish. The metallic silver pressing gives the vinyl itself the same eerie, time-capsule quality that runs through the music, making the physical object feel like part of the artistic statement rather than just a delivery format.
After is the Y2K-tinged trip-hop pop project of Graham Epstein and Justine Dorsey, who met on Hinge in Los Angeles and realized they'd probably make a better band than a couple. Born on the same day, August 23, 1995, the duo channels influences from Michelle Branch to Portishead, Fountains of Wayne to Enigma, crafting music that feels both nostalgic and new. Their sound has been praised by Rolling Stone, which wrote, ""After... feels like a memory you can't quite place."" Their debut album, Fell Asleep in the Sun, pressed on a CD with a 2000s inspired design, pairs the band's nostalgic sound with premium packaging worthy of any collection. This beautiful collector's edition includes a 12-Page Die-cut expanded booklet with full artwork, presented in a premium package that brings the album's visual world to life. Released via Mom+Pop Music, the project highlights tracks like ""Take Me to Sunrise, "" ""Promise (When You Go), "" and ""Snowburn, "" showcasing After's signature blend of dreamy melodies, textured production, and emotional resonance.
