Harrowing Jack floats in the chasm between waking and dreaming. The foundation is a lush, ambient swirl of strings, where the violin and cello create a bed of melancholic harmony. Weaving a haunted soundscape of forgotten carnivals and faded glamour which can only be described as Gothic Chamber Pop. The cello and violin mournfully saw through the deep, resonant vocals, which recount heartbreak and spectral romance. Meanwhile, the theremin's eerie, wavering cries drift like a ghostly presence, answered only by the melancholic wail of a solitary trumpet. The result is a sound that is both lush and desolate, a macabre tango for a moonless night. Crafting sonic films rather than songs. Their sound is a vivid tapestry of layered textures. Beneath this, Jack's deep male voice and Magpie's backing vocals act as a narrator, delivering cryptic, poetic lyrics that feel like a whispered prophecy. Their music is an immersive, hypnotic, and profoundly beautiful experience.

All songs written, produced, mixed and mastered by Jonny Shaw.
