SINGLES
Tomahawk (Unreleased)
Built on an odd time signature, this track blends retro sounds with a dark, futuristic tone. Recorded with live strings in an abandoned studio, it draws on vintage synth textures and noir-like moods to create a sense of uneasy nostalgia, trapped somewhere between past and future.
Let's Start Again (2024)
Written immediately following a long weekend in Ibiza, Let’s Start Again is a song about embracing new beginnings, taking chances, and starting afresh after a setback with a wink to Balearic beats.
Searching for Something (2021)
Searching for Something is about believing in your abilities and your right to fulfil your ambitions regardless of the chance of perceived success - the true success is in the journey itself and the people who hold our hands along the way
Bullet (2020)
Inspired by the documentary ‘Amy’, Bullet is a tale of recovery and redemption in a world filled with vice and temptation.
Heart of Stone (2020)
Heart Of Stone is our anthem that reminds us—life's one grand chance is now, and we must chase our dreams without reservation.
Stand By You (2020)
A heartfelt and emotional song that speaks to the unwavering support, love, and loyalty one person can have for another, capturing the essence of standing by someone's side through thick and thin, no matter what.
Breathe (2020)
Breathe is a story about learning to accept the loss of someone close to you, in the hope that you can meet up in the dream world. The notion that as long as we harness the love for that person and never forget them.
I Can't Wait Forever (2019)
Set in a timeless yet simplified version of our own world, it is one man's last-ditch effort to declare his love for the woman in the red dress, who we think might have stood him up the next time they were due to meet.
