Elysian

Midrift

Twelve minutes of submerged, sludgy shoegaze. Heavy guitar walls and whispered vocals create a protective cocoon of melancholic, tape-saturated noise.

It sounds like being hugged by a wall of beautiful, fuzzy static.

A heavy, protective layer of melancholic noise that feels like a safe place to hide.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the guitar feedback on 'Path' swells into a melodic wall that feels both crushing and protective.
The sudden, jarring shift in 'dismal' where the drums tighten and the distortion reaches a peak of static-filled catharsis.
The fragile, almost-broken vocal delivery on 'Wanted' that sounds like it was recorded inches from the microphone.
