Burst Apart

Shimmering indie rock that trades crushing grief for a sensual, electronic-tinged nocturnal haze. A masterclass in falsetto and textured, liquid production.

It's the perfect record for when you're feeling lonely in a beautiful, cinematic way at 2 AM.

A sensual, nocturnal haze that balances the ache of past loss with a shimmering, electronic-tinged beauty.

Moments Worth Waiting For

the transition in 'Parentheses' where the syncopated beat locks into a hypnotic, electronic pulse

the heartbreakingly fragile high note that anchors the climax of 'Putting the Dog to Sleep'

the way 'French Exit' uses a deep, dub-influenced bassline to create a sense of physical weight
