Want Two

A darker, more operatic companion to its predecessor. Lush orchestral arrangements meet liturgical themes and deeply personal storytelling in a candlelit pop opera.

It's like a private opera in a candlelit room where the singer tells you all his secrets.

A grand, theatrical melancholy that balances the sacred with the deeply profane.

Moments Worth Waiting For
the massive wall of choral voices that opens agnus dei like a gothic cathedral door
the heartbreaking shift in vocal tone during the final lines of the art teacher
the nine minute descent into electronic textures and guest vocals on old whore's diet
