A haunted anthology of dark pop and lo-fi horror instrumentals, where silence feels heavier than sound. Nightglass drifts through flickering tape hiss, trembling 808s, and detuned acoustic ghosts. Every track breathes like machinery remembering warmth—bass pulsing under broken neon, strings sighing through static, turntables whispering in the dark. Built from restraint and distortion, Nightglass is less an album than a slow haunting: twelve rooms of sound that never fully sleep, reflections trembling in black light.]

Estranged Cousins is a self-driven music project built on a lifelong love of guitars, songwriting, and sound experimentation. Drawing from rock and metal roots, Estranged Cousins writes original songs on acoustic and electric guitar, sometimes supported by drums and sometimes left stripped down and raw. These foundations are crafted first as genuine compositions—complete with personal melodies, chord structures, and emotional intent—before being transformed into something completely different.

After the initial recording process, each song enters a second creative life. Using AI tools and digital production software like Suno, Estranged Cousins reshapes these tracks into EDM reinterpretations that retain the core chord progressions and vocal melodies of the originals while evolving into a new genre and identity. The result is not just a remix, but a refracted version of the song—recognizable yet reborn. This dual-release approach, showcased clearly in the album Metamorphosis, pairs each original composition with its electronic counterpart, making the listener experience the material in two contrasting forms.

For Estranged Cousins, this process isn’t about commercial ambition or perfection. It is about curiosity, technology, and the joy of creation. Writing began in early adolescence with a guitar and a love for heavy music, and that passion never faded—only expanded. By embracing both analog performance and digital reinvention, the project exists in a space where tradition and experimentation meet. Every track represents a personal cycle: write it, play it, shape it, break it, rebuild it.

Estranged Cousins continues to develop music for the sake of expression and exploration, inviting listeners to hear what a song can become when it is allowed to evolve. Whether heard in its raw guitar-driven form or its reimagined electronic state, the purpose remains the same: to create, to experiment, and to share the results of that journey with anyone willing to listen.
