Gossamer

A maximalist explosion of neon synth-pop and sky-high falsetto hiding a raw, unflinching diary of mental health struggles and domestic tension.

It's like a neon-colored dance party where everyone is secretly crying, but the songs are too good to stop moving.

A high-definition collision of manic electronic euphoria and devastatingly honest self-reflection.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The explosive, glitchy vocal chop that opens 'I'll Be Alright' like a digital scream.

The sudden shift to a soulful, slowed-down R&B groove on 'Constant Conversations'.

The way the final track 'Where We Belong' builds into a massive, orchestral wall of sound that suddenly cuts to silence.
