The Light Brigade

Daedelus

A somber, tape-saturated meditation on the Crimean War. Ghostly vocals and muffled beats create a haunting, historical atmosphere far from the dancefloor.

It's like a haunted history book translated into dusty, slow-motion beats.

A heavy, tape-saturated requiem that feels like a transmission from a cold, forgotten battlefield.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the percussion on Onward feels like a distant, muffled march through thick mud
The sudden clarity of the acoustic guitar plucking through the hazy saturation of Sevastopol
The ghostly, wordless vocal harmonies that drift like smoke through the track Belonging
