about

New single, Before, An Apparition, the second to be taken from the eagerly anticipated debut EP, Better In Space, is an explosive depiction of the electro-pop genre combining sweeping synthesizers, punchy, dance-inducing drums and soaring vocals to make a track which is both otherworldly and exhilarating. Exploring themes of memory, transient moments and perseverance the song is a pioneering, atmospheric piece of electronica which will have you transfixed and wanting more.

The song is produced and with additional music by experimental electronic producer Alexander Comana (Miedo Total, Casi Wyn) and mixed and mastered by Nicholas Alexander (Battles, Dead Slow Hoot).

lyrics

It always seems to happen like this
A glimpse
When you look too much and in the corner of your eye
A flickering
Don’t dare focus on that spot too long
If you turn your head, it’s gone
But you have to keep staring
To stop the vision disappearing

And they stay just that little too long to make me feel something
And they fade just that little too soon to make me keep wanting

It always seems to happen like this
I self-inflict
So, it is the attempting it, ground control calls the cockpit
Ascending
I can’t magnify the moment too much
If I do then I’ll misjudge
But you have to keep dreaming

And they stay just that little too long to make me feel something
And they fade just that little too soon to make me keep wanting
