Unanswered (EP) – streaming link

Unanswered brings together progressive electronics, organic instrumentation, psychedelic textures and cinematic storytelling to contemplate some of life’s biggest questions. Wonder, mortality, ephemeral joy, absence and loss move through the record without simple resolution, reflecting the mystery at the heart of its title.
Central to the project is its division into two distinct halves: Outside and Inside. The first looks outward, finding beauty and vertigo in nature, space and existence itself; the second turns inward, confronting adolescence, melancholy and the void left behind by someone we love.

Opening instrumental ‘Eternity’ establishes that scale immediately. Conceived as an allegory for existence, the track places the instinct to live against the inevitability of death, with sparkling waves of electronics interacting with organic textures to suggest a connection between Earth and the stars. From there, ‘Over The Clouds’ continues the journey through a more serene and luminous dreamscape, gradually darkening into uncertainty before resolving through comforting, ethereal piano. The perspective shifts dramatically with ‘Teenage Sunday Sadness’, the opening track of Unanswered’s inward-looking second half. Brightness and carefree energy slowly give way to inexplicable melancholy, capturing the emotional contradictions of adolescence and the strange sadness that can emerge without an obvious reason. Closing track ‘Negative Space’ is the EP’s sole vocal composition and features Alison Thom, singer, songwriter and composer of Australian band Howlite. Set against an ethereal electro-pop foundation and delicate orchestral arrangements, Thom’s haunting vocal gives form to absence, grief and the empty space left by a loved one. A whispered French phrase, “l’attente d’un retour” — the waiting for a return — distils the song’s sense of longing into a single thought.

Negative Space highlights the haunting voice of Alison Thom, leader of the Australian band Howlite, who also pursues a solo career under the name Alice Thorn. Over an electro-pop foundation with delicate orchestral arrangements, she delivers a poignant lyric about absence, loss, and the void left by a loved one. The music video illustrates this endless waiting through fragments of daily life and poetic touches, where the sense of loss becomes palpable.
