It's quite experimental and strange. This time around we had some very varied ideas and decided to keep it mostly instr...

Hi guys,
So the song "Ropes" was born a long time ago.
It is finally ready for your ears.
Originally this was going to be a piano/vocal/string ballad. It was going to be very empty, very stripped back and very harrowing.
Then (thanks to Hana) I was listening a lot to Lana Del Ray's Ultraviolence, especially the song "Shad...
