Sounds Like: Outside of this world, melodious, powerful, emotive guitar sonority. Thundering bass lines synthesize powerful, majestic, free flowing beats and pure, soaring vocals. Songs of light and darkness, expressive vitalizing awe. Songs that reveal, hold relevance and all constructed with an innate pop sensibility.
