Mamouna

A dense, nocturnal masterpiece of art-pop. Murky synthesizers and elegant crooning create a world of high-fashion isolation and midnight city rain.

It's the ultimate 'expensive midnight' record for when you want to feel like a character in a noir film.

A sophisticated, velvet-lined melancholy that feels both claustrophobic and infinitely deep.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The hypnotic, circular guitar motif on 'Which Way to Turn' that feels like pacing in a small room.

The sudden, sharp injection of Nile Rodgers' signature funk guitar cutting through the hazy atmosphere of 'Don't Want to Know'.

The way Ferry's vocal on 'N.Y.C.' seems to dissolve into the synth pads, mimicking the anonymity of a crowd.
