Close to the Knife

Blue Foundation

Submerged trip-hop beats and breathy vocals drifting through a thick fog of analog synths. A cinematic, nocturnal record for urban isolation.

Find on Amazon

It's the sound of a rainy night in a city where you're the only one awake.

A heavy, cinematic sense of nocturnal isolation that feels both cold and comforting.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The six-minute title track slowly unfurls with a bassline that feels like it is vibrating through water.
The sudden shift into cosmic synth textures halfway through Voyage to the Stars.
The way the beat in Copenhagen Mannequin dissolves into a wash of white noise and distant whispers.
