Under Your Spell

A nocturnal blend of shimmering 80s synths and heavy, distorted guitars. Breathy vocals float over dense, purple-hued soundscapes of loss and longing.

It sounds like a 1980s horror movie soundtrack if the monster was actually just a broken heart.

A shimmering, bittersweet immersion into nocturnal longing and digital nostalgia.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The title track's transition from a pulsing electronic bassline into a soaring, melodic chorus.
The heavy, chugging guitar bridge in Counterpane that provides a sharp contrast to the airy verses.
The way The Lowest Low strips back the aggression for a vulnerable, piano-led atmosphere.
