Night Ferry, Sleepless City

A double A-side of two winter vigils: one on the open water, one behind a hospital window, both lit by amber and cold tea.

Tracks

1. Night Ferry, Engines HummingI wrote this one watching the amber deck lights hum across the water, and I wanted the synths to drift the way the ferry does, slow and a little weightless. It's the gentlest way I know to say that I'm still here.dark ambient, dream pop, drone4:40
2. Hospital Window, Sleepless CityThis is the corridor on the fourth floor, the hum of the lights and a cup of tea nobody finished. I kept it hushed and lo-fi because that's how the night sounds when you're waiting for news.trip-hop, bedroom pop, nocturnal synth4:26

Liner notes

I wrote these two in the long middle of the winter, when the nights in Montreal felt like they had no edges. One came from a late ferry crossing, the engines humming under my feet, and the other from a corridor on the fourth floor where I sat waiting with a paper cup of tea going cold. I kept the sounds small and glassy on purpose, close to the microphone, so it feels like someone speaking softly in the dark so as not to wake the city. These are the first things I ever put out under my own name, and they're the quiet start of the album I'm still building.
