"She Waits for the Sunrise" is filled with spiraling vocal harmonies, anchored by acetone organ, buzzing sitar, and grooving bass. Vibe into the mesmerizing and surreal.

Hope hides in a lush forest on Nariah IV, a planet colonized by a technocratic regime. Cowboy & Christa flee into the perilous woods seeking meaning & love. Rescued by an Afro-futurist group, they must use creativity & science to survive a harsh winter, or die trying.
