Built from soft-focus synths, drifting melodies and understated rhythms, the record moves at its own unhurried pace, favouring mood and texture over structure. There’s a strong sense of late-night introspection throughout — music that feels inward-looking, fragile and warm, as if assembled from faded tape loops and half-lit ideas.

Rather than aiming for peaks or club dynamics, “Ace of Swords” thrives in suspension, letting motifs gently repeat and dissolve. It’s a deeply immersive listen, suited to solitary moments and slow environments, where subtle shifts become the main event.

A quietly captivating release, it stands as a refined example of modern ambient-adjacent songwriting — intimate, slightly melancholic, and rich in atmosphere without ever feeling overstated.
