Spotify
etherealhopefulempoweringwondrousawakening

Ethereal indie-pop and soft orchestral soundscapes for a journey of self-discovery. Think Phoebe Bridgers' gentle vulnerability, Maggie Rogers' wonder, and Florence + The Machine's empowering magic. Dreamy, hopeful, with hints of mystery and courage awakening.
