2025

Ahead of the release of his new EP ‘Limitations’, Cyrano shares the introspective title track - a raw, self-reflective anthem for anyone grappling with identity, burnout, and the quiet struggle to keep moving forward. With his signature honesty and cinematic production, ‘Limitations’ captures the tension between self-awareness and self-doubt, unfolding through late-night chats on an open road. Written between time zones and emotional states, it’s Cyrano at his most vulnerable, yet most resilient. Cyrano returns next month for a special EP launch show, raising funds for War Child and those displaced from their homes due to conflict.

Limitations lyrics:

Well I guess I know my limitations
And I’m not hard defined
Well I guess I know my limitations
And I’m not hard defined
Well I guess I know my limitations

It’s typical me to leave a moment
In the sight of everyone
As I try to overcome
My typical need to be heroic
As I’m lent my time by sleep
Is this the life I want to keep?

And I'm not hard defined

Well I guess I know my limitations
And I’m not hard defined
Well I guess I know my limitations
And I’m not hard defined
Well I guess I know my limitations

In the sight of everyone
I was tired and overrun
But like the whole of my head now
I’m not hard defined

And I'm not hard defined
And I’m not hard defined
Well I guess I know my limitations

Happy Accident

Lyrics:

My heart is racing, my head is sore
I’m contemplating, being alone
Another night in, this raging storm,
But I’m not breaking, I’m standing tall

And I don’t wanna live forever
But I just wanna say goodbye tonight
No I just wanna come back down to earth

The drugs are dripping into my veins
I’m trying hard to forget the way 
It looks inserted inside my arm
Someone sound the alarm

What did I do wrong when I was young?  Was I too selfish, should I have shown
More love to people, who helped me grow
I’m staying strong but, I’m losing hope

And I don’t wanna live forever
But I just wanna say goodbye tonight
No I just wanna come back down to earth

The drugs are dripping into my veins
I’m trying hard to forget the way 
It looks inserted inside my arm
Someone sound the alarm

What did I do wrong when I was young?  Was I too selfish, should I have shown
More love to people, who helped me grow
I’m staying strong but, I’m losing hope

Sound The Alarm

You Still Turn Me Inside Out

Smilewhenyouwakeup

our first new song in 9 years is out today. a groove lost and found at sea. 

“patiently” is about making peace, learning spanish, and swimming open water. it's about the release of extending a hand, out of the throes of social isolation – a shore is in sight.

for years after we paused our band and tours, we moved hours apart. we kept writing solo songs but each struggled to finish them. we were pulled back to trails and ways.

when we started playing together again, building out a little studio in ian's backyard, “patiently” flowed together fast. keith's open chords on nylon guitar, ian's driving beat on live drums, the return of our deep bass and harmony master emma. 

we hope you'll bump "patiently” to dance in your kitchen, put it on for your surf crew and coworkers, and send it to pen pals in distant lands. we're back, with more to come.


Patiently

This is the remastered version of "Two of us" album. A soft, indie pop-rock album that perfectly captures cozy, relaxed autumn vibes. It’s a melancholic yet intimate collection of songs, painting a soundscape of quiet rooms, falling rain, and hazy light—ideal for reflective evenings.
