A shimmering evolution of the duo's retro-pop sound, blending 80s synth sophistication with punchier rhythms and Alaina Moore's signature breathy vocals.

It's like a high-definition 80s dream that sounds exactly how a luxury hotel lobby feels.

A sophisticated, shimmering blend of romantic nostalgia and modern rhythmic confidence.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the drums hit with a surprising, dry snap on 'One Night with The Valet', grounding the ethereal vocals.
The shimmering synth arpeggios that open 'Forbidden Doors', setting a more expansive tone than previous records.
The infectious, slightly funky bassline on 'Let's Make a Mistake Tonight' that pushes the duo toward the dancefloor.
