Moment Bends

Architecture in Helsinki

Polished synth-pop with a sophisticated yacht-rock sheen. Shimmering electronics and breezy harmonies replace the band's earlier chaotic maximalism.

It's like a 1980s beach party hosted by people who own way too many vintage synthesizers.

A shimmering, sophisticated joy that feels like a warm breeze at sunset.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The crystalline synth hook of Escapee that feels like a sudden burst of sunlight.
The way the vocal harmonies stack and swell during the bridge of Contact High.
The transition into the dub-influenced, spacious outro of Desert Island.
