Using analogue synths, drum machines with parts played almost entirely live (with minimal computer sequencing) and vocals free of autotune, this LP conjures up an organic, dream-like world, inspired as much by Alice in Wonderland, Franz Kafka and Anna Kavan as by its sonic influences such as Kraftwerk and The Cure. The LP is a mixture of electronic hauntological excursions, dreampop and European coldwave, scheduled for release in early 2022.

Marking the 20th anniversary of September 11th, the film paints an intimate portrait of. With minimal percussion, his lyrics float over a bed of vintage synthesizers and effected guitar.
