Edge of the Sun

A vibrant, collaborative expansion of desert noir. Shimmering indie pop meets Mexico City rhythms and widescreen brass under a purple twilight sky.

It's like a road trip through the Southwest with a trunk full of vintage synths and a brass section.

A sun-drenched, outward-looking collection that balances desert melancholy with a vibrant, rhythmic optimism.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The sudden, infectious burst of electronic percussion and traditional cumbia rhythms on track 5.

The way the guest vocals on 'Moon Never Rises' create a haunting, late-night folk harmony.

The cinematic swell of brass that anchors the anthemic opening track's chorus.
