The Blue Hour

Suede

A cinematic, rural gothic epic. Suede trades urban decay for the eerie shadows of the English countryside, backed by a full orchestra and haunting field recordings.

It's like a dark, orchestral ghost story set in the English woods at twilight.

A grand, theatrical exploration of dread and beauty found in the twilight of the countryside.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The ominous, tribal choral opening of As One that sets a ritualistic tone.
The transition from the spoken word Roadkill into the surging, melodic Tides.
The massive, cinematic swell of the strings during the climax of Flytipping.
