Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following the departure of Maya Postepski, Robert Alfons takes full control of the project, significantly brightening its murky, witch-house origins. The album heavily embraces high-tempo, 1980s-inspired Hi-NRG beats and shimmering, neon-lit synthesizer arpeggios. Alfons' incredibly versatile vocals range from a terrifying baritone drawl to a soaring, Prince-like falsetto, cementing his reputation as a unique fixture in modern darkwave.
