Why Do We Shake in the Cold?

Breathy, intimate vocals floating over organic house beats. A winter-focused exploration of human connection through minimalist production and shivering textures.

September 18, 2020

A gentle, pulsing vulnerability that seeks warmth in the isolation of modern life.

Moments Worth Listening For

The way the title track builds from a sparse, shivering vocal into a lush, percussive climax that feels like a physical embrace.

The hollow, echoing percussion on 'Numb' that mimics the feeling of emotional isolation within a crowded room.

The transition into the live Aquarium tracks where the natural reverb adds a haunting, submerged quality to his breathy delivery.
