Chasing After Shadows... Living With the Ghosts

Hammock

A massive, immersive wall of shimmering reverb and orchestral swells. It feels like a slow-motion collapse into a beautiful, melancholic dream.

It's like being wrapped in a giant, sad, beautiful blanket made of clouds and guitar pedals.

A heavy, immersive atmosphere of beautiful sorrow and cinematic reflection.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The massive, cresting wave of distorted guitar that swallows the melody halfway through In the Nothing of a Night.
The transition from the skeletal piano of The Whole Catastrophe into the widescreen orchestral bloom of the following track.
The way the drums finally anchor the shimmering haze during the climax of You Lost the Starlight in Your Eyes.
