Hold

Lush, maximalist synth-pop that trades hazy reverb for crystalline clarity. A self-produced exploration of suburban existentialism and fatherhood.

It's like the 80s synth-pop record you've always loved, but with a modern existential crisis and better production.

A bright, shimmering exploration of suburban life that balances pop whimsy with deep existential questioning.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The cathartic explosion of the chorus in Headlights On where Hatchie's vocals blend into a shimmering wall of sound

The unexpected, bright saxophone solo that cuts through the synth layers of Suburban Solutions

The transition from the brief, ambient Little Chaos into the sprawling, cinematic finale of Pulling Down the Moon
