After finishing recording their debut single, Hair and Teeth / Flooded Meadows, the band immediately moved toward writing their first LP, The Sun Exploding.

Indie kids, metal-heads, math rock freaks, post-punkers, stoners, psych rockers, and yes… even hipsters, can all agree that The Sun Exploding was intelligently constructed by a band who clearly loves the music they’re making, creating a phenomenal debut album in the process.

"[3] In his review of the album, AbsolutePunk.net staff writer Adam Pfleider wrote, "Stoner rock heads and time signature freaks will latch on like crazy.

Tidal Arms does a wonderful job of making the album continually flow and progress in a steady manner, yet never ends up repeating a dull moment.

"[2] Alternative Press reviewer Brian Schultz gave the album 3.5 out of 5 stars, writing, "[The band] manage to smear their own touch across it all for a wildly experimental and yet reigned-in sound that consistently spits out interesting moments.
