Marbles

A sprawling double-album of oceanic art rock. Shimmering guitars and cinematic synths frame deep explorations of isolation, memory, and the fear of disappearing.

It's a seventy-minute emotional dive that makes you feel like you're floating in the middle of the ocean at night.

A profound sense of oceanic isolation balanced by moments of soaring, spiritual release.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The terrifying transition in The Invisible Man where the whisper turns into a desperate, jagged scream of realization.

The sustained, soaring guitar note at the climax of Neverland that feels like it could hold up the sky.

The hypnotic, repetitive rowing rhythm that anchors the middle section of the massive Ocean Cloud.
