Days in the Wake

Stripped to a single guitar and a voice that sounds like it's fraying at the edges. A masterclass in lo-fi intimacy and rural isolation.

It sounds like a ghost playing guitar in a basement, and it's beautiful.

A stark, isolated meditation on loss and existence that feels like a cold wind through an empty house.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The devastatingly fragile vocal delivery on the opening track where the voice sounds like it might physically break.
The rhythmic stumbling of the guitar on track 9 that feels like a heart skipping a beat.
The sudden, stark silence between tracks that makes the tape hiss feel like a third instrument.
