Growing Pains

A stark, beautiful document of a life coming apart and being rebuilt. Intimate vocals and skeletal arrangements create a space for profound emotional honesty.

It's like a long, honest conversation with a friend who just went through a divorce.

A quiet, devastatingly honest journey through the wreckage of a marriage toward a fragile new peace.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The devastatingly quiet piano opening of 'I Don’t Wanna See You With Her' that feels like a held breath.

The way the title track 'Growing Pains' builds into a lush, orchestral resolution that feels like a hard-won exhale.

The rhythmic, almost clock-like percussion on 'Not Sober' that underlines the tension of a fragile emotional state.
