It's like a neon-lit collection of short stories you can actually dance to.

A vibrant and empathetic exploration of human eccentricity that balances playful energy with deep, underlying melancholy.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The crunchy 8-bit synth line that mimics a video game loading screen on Season 2 Episode 3.
The sudden, heavy guitar riff that breaks the electronic tension in the bridge of Take a Slice.
The devastatingly raw and soaring orchestral swell that closes out the final minute of Agnes.
