The directness of the message here is refreshing. A dark and slightly industrial sound informs the nuanced swing from the electronic drum-pocket, and a captivating vocal performance creates a polarity between self-truth and the persona that results from a destructive relationship.

This haunting personal testimony will resonate with the part of you that has never felt good enough. Forces, the latest from Small Hours, is a penetrating look at the mental cages we build for ourselves, that over time can start feeling like home.

Formed in the elasticated moments of a post-rave epiphany, duo Alex Mills and Alex Patten go by the name of Small Hours. They explore the state between hypnosis and conscious-thought, uninterrupted by the everyday pressures of ego and stress. This song is featured on our CHILL Angeles playlist.
