Vexations

Get Well Soon

A grand, dark-hued collection of orchestral indie rock. Sweeping brass, dramatic strings, and a deep baritone voice explore existential dread and history.

It's like a gothic indie-rock opera written by a philosophy professor who loves Werner Herzog.

A grand, theatrical melancholy that feels deeply intellectual and cinematic.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition into the sweeping, brass-led climax of Seneca's Silence that feels like a slow-motion collapse.
The eerie, skeletal opening of Werner Herzog Gets Shot, where the sparse instrumentation mirrors the starkness of its title.
The devastatingly quiet, funeral-march tempo of A Burial at Sea as it builds into a massive wall of orchestral sound.
