Sound as Language has posted the 2009 full-length from Touch Committee, Winter Beard, for free download. The site explained the band’s sound as follows:

Add in some endearing emo qualities (think Braid or Hey Mercedes)…mainly in the dual vocals that bounce off one another with beautiful abandon (and precision), and you have a hearty recipe for success.”
