This week, the bands releases their first EP, Goodbye, on JD Samson and Inge Colsen's new label Atlas Chair.In anticipation for the record, we sent photographer Amy Lombard to follow the Brooklyn-based band around their queer stomping grounds in Bushwick. They showed Amy their favorite art space (Secret Project Robot) and tried to convince her to huff poppers with them backstage at their show at Palisades. Amy said, "No, thank you," because she's a professional who never does sex drugs on the clock, and then shot all these glam portraits of the band.
