Final track from new EP titled 'Long Month'

Long Month is a sonic diary that chronicles the highs, lows, and quiet revelations of a turbulent transition. Blending genres from atmospheric ambient to pulsing leftfield house, each track reflects a different facet of grappling with hardship, finding clarity, and pushing forward. The EP’s narrative crescendos with its standout closing track, See You on the Other Side—a soaring ambient anthem of resilience, optimism, and open-ended possibility.

Raw, inventive, and deeply personal, Long Month invites listeners to journey through chaos, catharsis, and the steady resolve to move onward.

Final track taken from 'Fragments' ep 

On Fragments, knox weaves together a deeply textural, slow-burning meditation on memory, impermanence, and the quiet power of disintegration. Composed of salvaged sketches and discarded ideas, each track feels unearthed rather than built — ghostly melodic fragments drift through cracked ambient layers, buried rhythms, and crumbling tape textures.
