A Far Cry From Here

Exploring and addressing multiple levels and perspectives, emotional and musical, 'A Far Cry From Here' should strike a chord with fans of experimental and progressive-minded music.

Blank Walls

Boldly fusing styles and influences, Blank Walls is a genre bender of electronic, folk, prog and post-rock inflections. Multi guitars and vocals laden with intense mood disturbances. A palpable mix of sonic intrigue and captivating vocal storytelling.

Time of Rebirth

A quiet, ruminating album of poignant songs underlined by delicate textures and lush instrumentation. Delivered in hush tones over layers of subtle electronic elements blended with a distinct acoustic feel.

Record Label: Ourselves
