Anywhere but here opens the door to a disorienting dreamworld tinged with dark undercurrents.

Throughout the album, the delicate interplay of beauty and darkness is at play. Nostalgic pads and radiant strings coexists with haunting melodies and warped samples that linger in the shadows. Creating a soundscape that captures the present while holding hands with the echoes of yesteryears.
