Their music blends a cabaret ambience with elements of EDM and synth rock. They have released three albums: <em>Miles to Walk<\/em> (2015), <em>So Wrong<\/em> (2018), and <em>What Do You See?<\/em> (2024). Their lyrics\u2014shaped by the philosophical and social concerns of contemporary life\u2014combine realism with poetic expression. Their recent project &#8220;Interiors&#8221; took them to the USA, where they collaborated with contemporary poets and performed at major American universities across 13 states. The songs of their first three tours will be released by the end of 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sandra Meek &nbsp; Almanac &nbsp; Lampblack sparks arrant stars, flak\u2019s avatars.
