Crying Cities

A chilling portrait of urban isolation. Crystalline downtempo beats meet anxious, glitchy textures to capture the lonely beauty of a future city.

The perfect soundtrack for when the city feels like a beautiful, lonely machine.

A cold, high-definition melancholy that captures the isolation of living in a glass-and-steel metropolis.

Crying Cities Remix (Cydelix's Ambient version)

6:38

Moments Worth Waiting For

The way the rhythmic glitching in track 4 mimics the stutter of a failing fluorescent bulb before the bass swell takes over.

The transition into the Cydelix remix where the percussion dissolves into a pure, weightless wash of atmospheric static.

The haunting piano motif in 'Old Neighborhood' that feels like a childhood memory being slowly corrupted by digital noise.
