A frothy dream-pop introduction to the mind of Vietnamese-American producer and multi-instrumentalist Kelly Truong.

Written and recorded inher Orange County, CA home, these songs tell a hopeful story following loss.

For kelz, carefully looping beats, tinkering with synthetic waveforms, and interweaving guitar picking serves as a meditation - a mode of processing emotions and the inevitable passing of time.

Front and center are her airy vocals, recorded in a whisper so as to not wake people in the other rooms late at night.

Each song folds in on itself like a wave's undertow, reorienting infectious melodies from tracks previous.

When asked about the album, Kelz reflects on the process as "feeling like running towards something" but not knowing what it is.
