Under Rug Swept

Self-produced alt-pop defined by hyper-literate internal monologues and polished, guitar-driven arrangements. A dense, psychological exploration of intimacy.

It's like reading her private therapy notes set to really polished 2000s radio rock.

A sophisticated and analytical reckoning with intimacy that balances intellectual distance with raw emotional honesty.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The biting, percussive delivery of the opening lines in Narcissus where the vocal feels inches from the microphone.
The way the arrangement swells into a lush, shimmering wall of guitars during the chorus of Precious Illusions.
The stark, trembling vulnerability of the piano-led bridge in That Particular Time.
