about

Recorded in 2023, this solo studio album by Theo Travis embraces the world of dark jazz. It was inspired by Film Noir, the atmospheres and music of Twin Peaks, Doomer and Industrial musics but is all refined through Theo Travis' own musical vision and his jazz and ambient sensibilities.

Play at night, turn the lights down low and pour yourself a glass of something, or maybe one more cup of coffee...
