Destroyed

A nocturnal collection of analog synth-pop and ambient textures. Recorded in hotel rooms during bouts of insomnia, it captures the eerie stillness of a city at 3 AM.

A heavy, velvet-like nocturnal solitude that feels both lonely and deeply comforting.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the rhythmic pulse of Sevastopol mimics the mechanical thrum of a moving train.
The haunting, gospel-inflected vocal swell that breaks through the synth haze on Lie Down in Darkness.
The eight-minute slow-burn of Lacrimae where the melody gradually dissolves into pure atmospheric texture.
