Muted piano loops and rain-drenched textures create a sanctuary of soft-focus melancholy. A masterclass in the lo-fi aesthetic with genuine emotional depth.

Far Apart is the sonic equivalent of a long, solitary walk through a city at dusk when the pavement is still wet from a recent storm. It captures a very specific type of loneliness: the kind that feels like a choice and a relief rather than a burden. The music is built around a skeletal structure: a repeating piano loop, a muffled hip-hop beat, and the constant, comforting presence of falling rain. But within this simplicity lies a profound sense of intimacy. The piano isn't bright or percussive; it sounds muted, as if the hammers were wrapped in thick felt, giving every note a soft, rounded edge that avoids any sharp intrusion into the listener's headspace.
