Miami Horror

Five tracks of high-gloss synth-pop defined by elastic basslines and shimmering 80s textures. A percussive, sun-drenched celebration of rhythm and light.

It's like the 80s never ended and everyone just got better at playing the bass.

A vibrant, rhythmic celebration of urban summer energy and retro-futurist pop.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive polyrhythmic percussion break in Azimba that shifts the album toward a global dance sound.
The way the bassline in Leila locks in with the palm-muted guitar for a pure 1980s funk strut.
The shimmering synth wash that opens Sign of the Times, immediately setting a high-gloss nostalgic tone.
