Stationary Traveller

A cinematic concept album of Cold War tension. Latimer's liquid guitar leads meet icy 80s synthesizers to tell a story of divided cities and midnight escapes.

It's like a 1980s spy movie soundtrack but with the most emotional guitar solos you've ever heard.

A tense, cinematic exploration of isolation and longing set against a backdrop of political division.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The transition from the mechanical tension of Pressure Points into the desperate, melodic yearning of Refugee.

The title track's instrumental guitar solo where Latimer's tone achieves a weeping, vocal quality over icy synth pads.

The sudden, noir-inflected saxophone entry on Fingertips that shifts the album from prog-rock into a late-night jazz-pop haze.
