“stirring stripped back piano, rich with ghostly vocals” - Chordblossom - Best of Irish January.

'waking up' is “the essence of joy and destruction in childhood, finding an old toy and rediscovering the ancient secrets it holds. Echo.

“the artist has released a handful of cavernous singles so far, ‘someone else’ is a bittersweet ode to what-ifs, and the hooks on ‘silent fears’ will marinate your brain for days on end”
