Ghost Stories
A quiet pivot toward electronic minimalism and ambient textures. Intimate, submerged, and deeply personal songs recorded in the wake of a high-profile separation.

A cool, aquatic stillness settles over these nine tracks, trading the neon-soaked stadium energy of their recent past for the quiet hum of modular synthesizers and muted drum machines. The music retreats into a dimly lit, midnight atmosphere where the vocals are mixed close and dry, capturing the raw disorientation of a quiet personal catastrophe. It is an album of internal drift and sparse, electronic-tinged solitude, where the vast open spaces of the previous records are replaced by a claustrophobic, underwater fog.
