Mr. Conner Poetic lyrics that vocals paint across an otherworldly magical canvas. Lay down, press play, and enter a spectacular dreamland. Pure perfection. Favorite track: Fantastique.

FoxPuppy This album is full of beauty, hooks, danceable beats and moments where I think "That sounded very Kate-Bush-esque" for a second. Fun synthpop built around a strong and versatile voice.
Bunny X

Bunny X Yet another masterpiece from long-time scene stalwarts. This album is positively beautiful and each track feels expertly crafted. Holly's rich and glossy vocals just take the listener to a whole other dimension and I feel truly transported after listening to this. Just blown away. Favorite track: Sophia.

Stardust 03:29
Here we are In between Where we're going and where we've been I saw the earth rise The silver streams I felt a new and sweet surrender It felt like stardust And I tried to keep holding on To a fear that never was There's an absence of gravity in my heart Stardust - and it let me let go Stardust - it felt like stardust In constellations, I wander dreams To dance in darkness endlessly I ask for courage to face the unknown Shapeless in surrender Infinite like Stardust And it let me let go Stardust - from the very start Stardust - let me dream a little more At the heart of it all it felt like stardust And I tried to keep holding on Didn't know what I really want There's an absence of gravity in my heart Stardust - and it let me let go Stardust - from the very start Stardust - let me dream a little more At the heart of it all, it felt like stardust

Fantastique 04:03
All the places she'll go Her secrets unfold She's a strange illusion In a dissonant world Let her dance through your dreams But she'll do what she needs You'll try to love her They'll try to break her down No one will ever know A sound so visual Electric Eyes Neon pearls A fool's paradise A modern girl Symphonie Fantastique Don't go breaking your heart Trying to re-write her part To suit illusions In your curated world Cause she'll dance through your dreams But she's not what she seems Mirror mirror Electric Eyes Neon pearls A fool's paradise A modern girl Symphonie Fantastique No one will ever know...

It’s cool, I’m fine I’ll tell you how I feel Like a river running wild And I let it carry me So tell me is it real or just reflections on the water? Spellbound the sunset fades Into the magic hour You know you make me want to believe That it could last forever In the magic hour Under this moon I’ll take you down Where love is no illusion To a mirror that holds our fantasies Where I find myself in you I see your face in everything beautiful and true Spellbound the sunset fades Into the magic hour You know you make me want to believe That it could last foreverIt’s cool, I’m fine I’ll tell you how I feel Like a river running wild And I let it carry me So tell me is it real or just reflections on the water? Spellbound the sunset fades Into the magic hour You know you make me want to believe That it could last forever In the magic hour Under this moon I’ll take you down Where love is no illusion To a mirror that holds our fantasies Where I find myself in you I see your face in everything beautiful and true Spellbound the sunset fades Into the magic hour You know you make me want to believe That it could last forever In the magic hour In the magic hour

Hidden Sun 04:17
Hope was within our hearts It hovered there beyond grey cloud And we stared like a dozen flowers The faces of looking glass world And the science had promised paradise found A hidden sun I wonder how it's gonna feel Humanity revealed After our longest year In hidden sun And I wonder how the world will change Humanity remains After our longest rain In hidden sun Ready, I'm ready to see it now After so much dark Thunder became familiar And as the children of rocket humans We long for no motion no sound And the science had promised paradise found A hidden sun I wonder how it's gonna feel Humanity revealed After our longest year In hidden sun and I wonder how the world will change Humanity remains After our longest rain In hidden sun Ready, I'm ready to see it now A hidden sun How will we feel when the rain clears the hidden sun After our darkest year

Sophia 04:17
Our hands are tied To great big wheels turning When seas are rough Emotions run high But you know we'll find a way We'll try To surface from mystery lost In the tides Show me Sophia, show me the sky without stars Sophia, we'll dive to the oceans floor I don't fear anymore A sky without stars I'm not afraid anymore A sky without stars I mapped out our voyage I bottle my wine To share in this cup of wisdom divine Despite the swell of the deep And the tears that we weeped There was light And I know you'd find a way For you told That magic won't have to fade As we grow old Show me Sophia, show me the sky without stars Sophia, we'll dive to the oceans floor I don't fear anymore A sky without stars I'm not afraid anymore A sky without stars It was just a feeling - a sky without stars

We are the thread We tie the string of pearls Caring for these planets Since ancient worlds How can we mend each other's broken hearts? For each other's survival, it's our sacred work Handle with care - it's a new world Handle with care - it's a free world (Human to human) Handle with care - It's a new world Our chance for survival, our sacred work Keepers of light We're builders of love Since these kings and kingdoms Their systems broke They say it's just illusion But we'll make it real Holding hands with our rivals It's our chance to heal Handle with care - it's a new world Handle with care - it's a free world (Human to human) Handle with care - It's a new world Our chance for survival, our sacred work I open my eyes, human to human

Happier 03:56
I should've read the signs then Let truth be known You always wanted the one's who needed you more And it became a problem that can't be solved What would it take for your blood to run cold? Is this love, how I feel? You got what you came for tell me Is it wrong? you've been deceiving in everything you've done And I'd be happier Happier, if we moved on Happier, if we moved on Now our towers fallen Systems destroyed From ashes we'll move on with our lives But this wound runs deep Straight through the heart When I realised when we're apart That I'd be happier Happier, if we moved on Happier, if we moved on You'd be happier, if we moved on Happier, if we moved on
8.
True Desire 04:12
If it's true desire You'll feel a certain longing As the moonlight fades The stars remain If it's true desire It'll seem like all the desert roads Lead you home Straight to my door And we'll find destination We'll feel complete metaphysical release In everything If it's true desire I'd never want to let it go Let it turn into a modern love If hearts align to feed the fire of a true desire If we play our parts If we're open to receiving All our angels And when demons haunt our dreaming Cause there's a side of me that wants to start To weave together worlds apart In true design, in the fashion of a true desire And we'll find destination We'll feel complete metaphysical release In everything If it's true desire I'd never want to let it go Let it turn into a modern love If hearts align to feed the fire of a true desire Let us find the lovings source The softness of evening Let it steer the passage of our lives Weaving in all the threads of emotion We'll find the heart Of true desire
9.
Alchemy 03:50
You're a mirror to me With magic we're bound Weave in supersymmetry Where all that's lost will be found And maybe it's natural We're stepping off the page You turn lead into gold You make it feel alchemical With our hearts changing form Alchemical And it feels right You make me believe in magic Alchemical Moonlight will phase As constant as night Shifting in shapes But loves a deep deep dive You make it feel natural Reveal the hidden sun A superbloom across the land Must've been alchemical With a heart changing form Alchemical And it feels right You make me believe in magic Alchemical It must've been alchemical And maybe we found all that we lost With our hearts changing form

I lost touch with ground control The comfort of the world I had known I felt the dark between stars I walked the rings of saturn In my heart, oh I needed to know more Voyager at the edge, at the edge of the universe I dressed for space, for the cold In Sunday's best, in velvet and gold In my heart, oh I needed to know more Voyager at the edge, at the edge of the universe So lover, I'll be safe Never lost forever Lover, I'll be brave I wish you were here at the edge of the universe At the edge of the universe I lost touch with ground control The comfort of the world I had known
