The Missing Man

Five tracks of moody, noir-inflected rock. A concise blend of driving post-punk energy and lush, gothic atmosphere that feels like a cold city at night.

It's like a short, sharp noir film for your ears, perfect for when the sun goes down.

A sophisticated, nocturnal tension that balances driving energy with a cold, poetic detachment.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The transition into the title track where the tempo drops into a haunting, atmospheric crawl.
The interplay between the prominent, driving bassline and the shimmering guitar leads on Get Dark.
