For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women)

A sharp pivot into gothic-gloomy chamber pop. Intimate piano, submerged synths, and literary lyrics recorded with bone-dry analog warmth.

Find on Amazon

It's like reading a sad, beautiful book in a room where you can hear the house settling around you.

A sophisticated, literary gloom that finds beauty in the quietest moments of isolation.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarring transition from the skeletal piano of Orlando in Love into the lush, submerged synth beds of Honey Water.
The way the strings on Winter in LA slowly detune at the end of the track, mimicking a failing tape machine.
The sudden, sharp intake of breath before the final chorus of Magic Mountain, left high in the mix for startling intimacy.
