searching for nirvana

Royal & the Serpent

High-tension alt-pop mirroring the frantic rhythm of social anxiety. Glitchy, neon-soaked anthems for the overstimulated and the overwhelmed.

Find on Amazon

It's like a panic attack you can actually dance to.

A frantic, neon-lit descent into sensory overload that finds beauty in the breakdown.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The claustrophobic vocal layering in overwhelmed that mimics the physical sensation of a rising panic attack.
The sudden shift from acoustic vulnerability to distorted electronic defiance halfway through the project.
The stripped back honesty of the closing track i am which provides a rare moment of stillness after the preceding chaos.
