Cinematic indie pop defined by massive vocal harmonies and tribal percussion. A record of high-stakes storytelling and urban nighttime anxiety.

It's like a movie soundtrack for your most dramatic late-night thoughts, but with huge drums.

A high-energy blend of urban anxiety and cinematic triumph.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The massive 'eh-o eh-o' vocal chant that opens Pompeii and anchors the entire track's rhythmic drive.
The transition into the soaring, string-laden chorus of Laura Palmer that mimics the tension of a noir thriller.
The stark vulnerability of the piano-led Oblivion where the dense production strips away to reveal a lonely falsetto.
