Skyscraping

ABC

Polished urban pop that trades 80s gloss for 90s guitar warmth. A cinematic collection of mid-tempo anthems for the sophisticated, slightly lonely city dweller.

It's like David Bowie and a symphony orchestra took a midnight taxi through 1990s London.

A sophisticated blend of metropolitan confidence and the quiet ache of urban isolation.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the chorus of Stranger Things blooms into a wide-screen synth swell after the intimate verse.
The unexpected glam-rock guitar crunch that anchors the title track Skyscraping.
The sprawling, atmospheric fade-out of Light Years that feels like drifting into orbit.
