By the time of their live performance at CherryFest, they were experimenting with various genres and solidifying their signature sound. This live recording captures the raw energy and uniqueness of their early work, showcasing tracks like 'Sea of Trees' and 'High Hopes Low,' which reflect their experimentation with garage rock and psychedelic elements.
