Crying is a three-piece indie rock band from Brooklyn. Their debut EPs, Get Olde and Second Wind, prominently featured musical accompaniment from a Gameboy, which stood in for a synth. On their debut full-length, 2016’s Beyond the Fleeting Gales, the band evolved beyond their chiptunes roots and produced an album of synth- and guitar-driven power pop.

Vocalist Z Santos’ often-barely-audible vocals mask lyrics that range from the irreverently funny to the deeply personal.
