“House of Suns” moves like a long, recursive observation—clones traveling through eras, returning with memory, then facing an absence where the usual gathering should be. This playlist alternates between spacious, synthetic instrumentation for interstellar distance and grounded vocal songs that echo identity-splintering, quiet dread, and the fragile urgency of memory.
