Patrick Barnett (vocals, guitar) met Leonard Gilmour (vocals, guitar) at a Big Thief showcase and bonded over an appreciation of Simon & Garfunkel, The Band, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, The Smiths, Silver Jews and Wilco The pair shared an apartment in Brooklyn, started to make music as a duo and calling themselves as The Wildflowers. Then, the duo expanded into a four-piece, with the Smith brothers, Jonathan Smith (bass, backing vocals) and Paul Smith (drums, percussion, backing vocals) who Patrick and Leonard met at the Blue Note club. Leonard recruited a music teacher named Ashkii Jones (piano, organ, backing vocals) and Jonathan recruited his friend, Gary Stevens (flutes, strings, pedal-steel guitar) which expanded the band into a six-piece. They played a style of indie rock influenced by folk and lo-fi music backed up with bittersweet poetic lyrics about mental health, romance and social issues. The band was described as "the sound of the generation".

My Ex - Crush by thefadedwhite

"I wish I had never met you!" Deepika's voice echoed across the classroom, each word a dagger to my heart. "Excellent! At least we finally agree on something!" I fired back, even as a tear betrayed the storm of emotions within me. With those final, stinging words, Deepika stormed out, leaving a heavy silence in her wake. The classroom felt like a graveyard, and I stood there, rooted to the spot, desperately wishing I could chase after her and demand the truth. Maybe letting her go was the right choice. Perhaps this is meant to be my unfinished love story, a tale of what-ifs and almosts... ✨ No Deepika. This can't be his bike. Not Arjun's. But I couldn't deny what I saw-the familiar brown Royal Enfield, now twisted and crushed. My heart hammered as I circled around, hoping, praying it wasn't true, until my gaze landed on the number plate: TN56 0809. Arjun's bike. Deepika! Stop imagining things! Arjun would be fine! I felt the world shift, the noise around me blurring into a single, deafening hum. Ambulance and police sirens echoed, and a stranger's voice broke through: "Two boys. Spot dead. College students." I clutched my chest, gasping for air as reality slammed into me. "Arjun..." I whispered, barely holding myself together. Tears stung my face as I sank beside the wreck. "No, Please, No!" My voice cracked as the weight of regret settled in, suffocating me. ✨ Ex-Crush: More than just a crush, but a little less than love. ✨ Arjun and Deepika were hopelessly in love-only they never realized it. Will they find their way to each other, or will their love story remain forever unfinished? ✨ Join Arjun and Deepika on a journey back to those dreamy college days-days where every moment felt eternal, love was unspoken yet ever present, where friendship bloomed like wildflowers, offering a sanctuary from the harsh winds of reality. Come, wander with them through the corridors of college days, where the echoes of laughter still linger.
