Where It Is

Angular guitars and melancholic baritone vocals. A document of a band caught between the gloom of post-punk and the shimmering dawn of synth-pop.

The record that proves they were the best indie-goth band you never knew existed before they went to the club.

A sophisticated, rain-slicked melancholy that feels both intimate and distant.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The slow, agonizing build of the seven-minute In Trouble and Shame where the guitar feedback begins to swell.

The transition from the sparse, skeletal opening of Slow Drowning into its lush, minor-key melodic resolution.

The unexpected rhythmic shift in Forever Dancing that hints at the house music future they would soon embrace.
