With a Hammer

A jagged, brilliant debut that trades club comfort for industrial grit. Whispered vocals meet shattered breakbeats in a visceral study of ancestral and personal rage.

It's like she took her signature house sound and smashed it with a mallet to see the beautiful mess inside.

A sharp, transformative journey from quiet introspection to noisy, percussive liberation.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The sudden shift in 'For Granted' where the polite house beat dissolves into a frantic, jungle-inspired breakbeat finale.

The metallic clanging and industrial percussion of the title track that mimics the literal smashing of emotional barriers.

The haunting, slowed-down vocal loops in 'Passed Me By' that feel like memories being processed in real-time.
