With drummer Loïc Fouquet replacing founding member Julien Louvion, the band returned to Philadelphia for a second session with Yip. Their third album, You're In Both Dreams (And You're Scared), was released August 2023, its title lifted from a line of dialogue in David Lynch's Mulholland Drive, a nod
