Album Notes & Community Reviews

Merging heavily distorted guitar chugs with pulsating 1980s analog synthesizers, this independently released debut set a defining benchmark for the burgeoning darksynth subgenre. The California-based duo leaned unapologetically into slasher-film aesthetics and John Carpenter-esque atmospheres, cultivating a deeply nostalgic yet aggressively modern club-ready sound.
