Angles

Jagged guitars meet eighties synth textures. A polished, restless collection of urban pop-rock that trades garage grit for neon-lit precision.

Sleek transition

A sleek, synthetic gloss coats these ten tracks, signaling a sharp pivot toward eighties-inspired new wave and mechanical precision. The signature twin-guitar friction is polished to a crystalline sheen, while the vocals experiment with processed, robotic textures and unexpected falsettos.
