A shadowed, chamber-like score for Odette and Cecilia’s world: old-house unease, intimate attachment, grief, and the tightening grip of family power. The instrumentals move between unsettling classical textures and spacious modern sound, while the final three vocal songs give voice to menace, secrecy, and the feeling of being trapped inside a story that has turned against you.
