Magic and Dread is the first chapter of music from 𝒮𝓉𝑜𝓇𝓎𝒷𝑜𝑜𝓀, a new fantasy-inspired synth project from Chicago, IL. At the core of the record stands its primitive backbone, tribal rhythms constructed from rock and sandstone formations found beneath the boiling blood moons of the American southwest.

By embracing the natural elements of one world, a tale of another long forgotten is told. From the breathless wonder of its first track, to the mountainous conclusion of "Towers in the Depths," Magic and Dread is a quest for new ground in the hallowed realms of comfy and dungeon synth music.
