One Cell in the Sea

Lush, piano-led chamber pop that uses the natural world to map the geography of a broken heart. Ethereal, literary, and deeply intimate.

It's the perfect soundtrack for when you want to feel like the protagonist of a sad indie movie about a rainy coastal town.

A delicate, aquatic melancholy that balances whimsical nature metaphors with the sharp sting of real-world heartbreak.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The devastatingly sparse piano opening of Almost Lover that feels like a physical intake of breath.

The way the strings swell into a cinematic wave during the bridge of The Minnow & the Trout.

The rhythmic, clock-like piano pulse that drives the momentum of Come On, Come Out.
