Cruel Runnings

Miniature Tigers

Shimmering 2010s synth-pop that feels like a polaroid of a summer breakup. Glossy production masks a deep, humid melancholy perfect for golden hour.

It's the perfect soundtrack for when you're sad but you still want to feel like you're in a 1980s summer movie.

A shimmering, neon-soaked exploration of nostalgia and the quiet ache of moving on.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The way the bassline locks into the mechanical drum beat on 'Used to be the shit' creating a danceable but cold distance.

The shimmering, underwater synth pads that open 'Swimming pool blues' setting a literal and metaphorical tone for the record.

The soaring, stacked vocal harmonies in the chorus of 'Dream girl' that feel like a hallucination of a perfect relationship.
