Renowned for a shimmering, dreamy sound that melds elements of shoegaze, dream-pop, post-punk and goth, their music utilises heavily textured guitars, synth drones and ethereal vocals to conjure an otherworldly atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their current album, \u2018Cascades\u2019, was released in October 2025. It explores transformation, reflection and the pull of distant horizons.
