This music feels like looking at a stack of overexposed polaroids from a summer you can barely remember. It is defined by a thick, warm haze of analog synthesizers, washed-out drum machines, and vocals that seem to float just beneath the surface of the mix, never quite coming into full focus.
What makes this project distinctive is its commitment to the 'somnambulist' aesthetic. It captures that specific feeling of being half-awake in a sunlit room, where the edges of reality are softened by reverb and tape hiss. It shares the DNA of early 2010s chillwave but leans harder into the psychedelic, shoegaze-adjacent textures of the Porto scene.
Start with the Simple Steps EP. It perfectly encapsulates the project's ability to turn simple pop structures into immersive, atmospheric vignettes that reward repeat listens during quiet, solitary moments.
