Album Notes & Community Reviews

Conceptualizing a shadowy, fictional metropolis, the visionary electronic producer and Ghostly label co-founder fully realized his evolution into a dark avant-pop crooner. The album utilizes driving tech-house rhythms and nocturnal synthpop textures to soundtrack themes of urban alienation, sexual deviance, and late-night hedonism.
