Oct 28, 2026

A mix of eerie ambient textures, unsettling chamber music, and restrained cinematic cues evokes the house’s uncanny rhythms and Margaret’s uneasy resolve to remain. The final three songs bring in ghosts, haunting, and the uneasy pull of home, while keeping the overall pace measured for focused reading.
