The Wild Heart

A shimmering blend of 80s synthesizers and mystical rock poetry. Polished, nocturnal, and deeply preoccupied with the ghosts of lost love.

It's the ultimate 'twilight in a velvet shawl' record with a surprising Prince-inspired synth pulse.

A high-gloss, nocturnal meditation on loss and legend, balancing synth-pop energy with deep, mystical melancholy.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The urgent, propulsive synthesizer pulse of Stand Back that feels like a midnight chase

The sweeping, cinematic orchestral swell that closes out the epic Beauty and the Beast

The moment the backing vocals lock into a haunting, gospel-inflected harmony on Nightbird
