how does it feel?

Moonlight Serenade

Have Some Shame

The Crest of a Wave

Debut release ‘Coming Good’ combines a near-Motorik driving rhythm and chiming guitars with longing twin vocals ruminating on what could have beens and past promises.

The track was recorded at Press Play Studios in Bermondsey and Joe Reeves Recording in Kingston.

Coming Good

Sometimes, a song comes together quickly with a sense of familiarity. In my experience, it is these songs that infectiously delight. 'It Starts Again' premiered on BBC 6 Music, has been described as "a moment, a buzz, similar to the likes of Arab Strap 'First Big Weekend' or 'Public Service Broadcasting ' where moreish energy paired with an understated spoken word vocal captivates and embraces".


A prelude to an EP. Four songs perpetuating the struggle against the frustrating lack of visibility and significant barriers faced by disabled musicians. 

Band Spectra: It Starts Again

When I saw you in my dreams
Made me fall to my knees

All I care for is what you see
All you do now is what I need

Feeling cold in my disease
Makes me crawl on my knees 

I was bored and you broke free
Carelessness in my belief
I was bored and you broke free
Carelessness in my belief
I was told that you are near
And everything that we’ve feared 
Eventually is no longer here

And I know you can’t be far
And I go where you are

Whispers come, they call to me
All you do now is what I need

When I saw you in my dreams
Made me fall to my knees

I was bored and you broke free
Carelessness in my belief 
I was bored and you broke free
Echoes fading silently
I was told that you are near
And everything that we’ve feared 
Eventually is no longer here
