Love Is Real

It sounds like a ghost from 1984 trying to explain the meaning of life through a karaoke machine.

A desperate, reverb-drenched search for spiritual meaning within the machinery of 80s pop.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The way the vocals on 'Heaven Is Real' sound like they are being shouted from the back of a massive, empty stone cathedral.

The jarring, repetitive urgency of 'Rights for Gays' that transforms a political slogan into a hypnotic, rhythmic mantra.

The transition into the somber, liturgical atmosphere of 'Tenebrae' which feels like a religious service held in a decaying nightclub.
