Trouble in Paradise

A lush, sun-drenched pivot to warmer analog synths and disco grooves. Sophisticated pop that trades brittle digital edges for tropical melancholia.

It's like a 1982 beach party where everyone is secretly crying, but the bassline is too good to leave.

A sophisticated blend of tropical escapism and intimate, late-night heartache.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The slow-burn transition in 'Let Me Down Gently' where the sparse intro explodes into a propulsive, driving synth-pop anthem.

The hypnotic seven-minute groove of 'Silent Partner' that leans into a darker, more repetitive club-oriented energy.

The way the marimba and tropical percussion interplay with the bassline on 'Tropical Chancer' to create a breezy, island-pop feel.
