The Colour in Anything

Seventy-six minutes of skeletal soul and submerged bass. A sprawling, intimate document of isolation where piano chords decay into digital static.

It’s like a seventy-minute hug from a ghost who really understands your heartbreak.

A sprawling, patient exploration of isolation and the quiet beauty found in emotional wreckage.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the percussion on Timeless mimics a ticking clock before being swallowed by a massive, distorted synth growl.
The hauntingly beautiful vocal interplay between James Blake and Justin Vernon on I Need a Forest Fire.
The final track Meet You in the Maze where seventy-six minutes of production strip away to just a prism of layered, a cappella vocals.
