Fall to Pieces

Tricky

Brief, skeletal vignettes of grief and urban isolation. Marta Zlakowska's haunting vocals lead through a maze of brittle beats and murky, minimalist production.

Find on Amazon

It's like a collection of haunted, two-minute pop songs recorded in a basement at 4 AM.

A stark, fragile exploration of loss that feels both claustrophobic and strangely rhythmic.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarringly catchy but skeletal synth hook on Fall Please that feels like a ghost of a radio hit
The raw, repetitive piano motif on Hate This Pain that underscores the cyclical nature of grief
The way Marta Zlakowska's voice almost dissolves into the hiss of the track on Close Now
