Oct 22, 2026

A slow-building mix of uncanny electronics, shadowed ambient pieces, and spare instrumental passages follows Cole and Lorraine’s shift from ordinary board-game playtesting toward a game that colonizes their home and imagination. The three restrained vocal tracks evoke the couple’s unease, the pull of the sea-bound title, and the growing sense that familiar surroundings are no longer safe.
