    For The Time Being

    Released 16 October 2026

    For The Time Being

    I don’t know what comes next.
    I’m quite enjoying that.

    For the Time Being is five songs from a period when my life stopped looking quite how it had for eleven years. Some of it is about what I left behind, including a few things I probably should have noticed sooner. Some of it is about buying clothes I wouldn’t normally wear, seeing someone without deciding what to call it, and discovering that an evening alone can just be an evening alone. I haven’t worked everything out, and I’m not particularly interested in pretending I have. This is where I am at the moment. For the time being, that’ll do.

    1. I’m Doing Fine
    2. Black Dress
    3. Not My Usual
    4. Maybe That’s Enough
    5. Nothing Else Tonight
    EP NOTES

    For the Time Being follows a life rearranging itself after eleven years of familiarity. Across five songs, old relationships give way to new choices, new company and the unexpected pleasure of having nowhere else to be. Nothing is presented as a finished chapter or a fresh beginning. It is simply where things are now.

  • Same Streets

    Same Streets

    Released 01 May 2026

    Different Day

    Some weekends are remembered.
    Most are simply lived.

    Friday Queue brings together three snapshots of ordinary life after the working week ends. One person is still delivering takeaways while everyone else is heading out. Another is still awake long after midnight with little more than a cold cup of tea and a glowing phone for company. Somewhere in between, tomorrow always feels like the day everything will finally get sorted. Rather than chasing big moments, the EP finds its stories in the routines, conversations and quiet hours that so often pass unnoticed.

    TRACKS

    1. Can’t Be Arsed
    2. Still Up
    3. Friday Queue
    ALBUM NOTES

    Same Streets captures the quieter side of the weekend. Between late-night takeaway shifts, aimless scrolling long after midnight and the promise that tomorrow will be the day everything finally gets sorted, these three songs celebrate the ordinary moments that so often pass unnoticed. There’s no grand message here, just familiar routines, recognisable people and the strange comfort of realising you’re probably not the only one living them.

  • As Delivered

    As Delivered

    Released 24 April 2026

    As Delivered

    What happens is one thing.
    What you carry from it is another.

    As Delivered is a collection of songs about the distance between an experience and the meaning we give it. Conversations change through what is said and what isn’t, familiar behaviour becomes automatic, and anticipated endings fail to provide the resolution expected of them. Across four tracks, small moments become points of recognition, where what seemed clear at the time looks different once it has been allowed to settle.

    TRACKS

    Select any track to read the lyrics and listen to the recording.

    1. Say It Properly
    2. You Didn’t Stop Me
    3. Hold The Room
    4. After It’s Done
    ALBUM NOTES

    As Delivered examines the distance between what happens and what we carry away from it. Across four songs, words, silence, performance and expectation take on meanings that only become clear once the moment has passed.

  • Halfway Chapters

    Halfway Chapters

    Released 17 April 2026

    Halfway Chapters

    Somewhere between where you were
    and where you’re going, life carries on.

    Halfway Chapters finds Lisa Coles taking stock without pretending everything has been resolved. Across four songs, old expectations are reconsidered, messages remain unsent, familiar habits become harder to dismiss and carefully managed conversations reveal more than intended. These are not dramatic turning points, but smaller moments when you recognise something about yourself, even if you haven’t quite decided what to do about it yet.

    TRACKS

    Select any track to read the lyrics and listen to the recording.

    1. Halfway Chapters
    2. Folded Letters
    3. Just One Glass
    4. Front Row Composure
    EP NOTES

    Halfway Chapters catches Lisa Coles in moments of quiet reassessment. These songs sit with changing expectations, things left unsaid, habits we recognise in ourselves and the careful ways people manage what they reveal. Nothing is completely resolved. Life simply looks a little different once you’ve noticed what’s there.

  • Pulse

    Pulse

    Released 10 April 2026

    Pulse

    Sometimes the first person to notice the damage
    is the one allowing it to continue.

    Pulse examines the compromises, confrontations and private adjustments that gradually change how we see ourselves. Across four songs, The Fault Archive moves between outward defiance and uncomfortable self-examination: recognising the moment a boundary is crossed, the lies used to preserve a familiar version of ourselves, and the quiet process by which something once unacceptable can eventually become normal.

    TRACKS

    Select any track to read the lyrics and listen to the recording.

    1. I Watched Myself Change
    2. Wrong One Today
    3. I Smile At Strangers
    4. Baseline
    EPNOTES

    Pulse follows the uneasy distance between what we believe about ourselves and what our behaviour eventually reveals. Across confrontation, compromise, guilt and gradual acceptance, these songs examine the moments when something changes inside us, whether we choose to acknowledge it or not.

  • Controlled

    Controlled

    Released 03 April 2026

    Controlled

    Everything stays controlled
    until you notice how little space is left.

    Controlled follows the quiet discipline of systems that never appear to fail, only tighten. Across four songs, Indi-Glo Blue looks at rehearsed calm, constant observation, narrowed margins and the subtle pressure that keeps everything technically intact. Nothing dramatic has to happen. The frame holds, the language stays measured, and the adjustments continue until constraint begins to pass for order.

    TRACKS

    Select any track to read the lyrics and listen to the recording.

    1. All According To Plan
    2. Quiet Observation
    3. Within Tolerance
    4. Hold The Frame
    EP NOTES

    Controlled looks at what happens when systems keep tightening without ever appearing to fail: plans are maintained, deviations are noted, margins narrow and pressure is absorbed through small adjustments rather than obvious change. These songs are less interested in collapse than in the quiet discipline of keeping everything within limits, even as those limits keep moving.

  • Echo Chamber

    Echo Chamber

    Released 27 March 2026

    Echo Chamber

    A connection doesn’t have to end
    to stop coming through clearly.

    Echo Chamber is a collection of songs about what remains when communication begins to fail. Voices distort, memories occupy empty spaces and familiar things no longer quite align with themselves. Across four songs, Vesura stays with the urge to keep listening, correcting and holding on, even when there may be nothing left to recover.

    TRACKS

    Select any track to read the lyrics and listen to the recording.

    1. Shadows On The Wall
    2. Static Between Us
    3. Fracture Lines
    4. No Signal, No Sound
    EP NOTES

    Echo Chamber follows what remains when connection starts to fail. Across four songs, voices disappear, memories persist and familiar things shift slightly out of place. What should be allowed to fade keeps finding another way back in.

  • Face Value

    Face Value

    Released 13 March 2026

    Face Value

    Seeing something clearly
    doesn’t always make it easier to face.

    Face Value is a collection of songs about what happens when appearances, explanations and accepted versions of events stop being enough. Across four tracks, distance becomes a way of coping, tension is held beneath the surface, pretence is challenged and a rewritten past is refused. These are songs about recognising what is already in front of you, and deciding whether to look away or acknowledge it for what it is.

    TRACKS

    Select any track to read the lyrics and listen to the recording.

    1. Circuit Horizon
    2. Low Pressure
    3. Don’t Pretend
    4. That’s Not What Happened
    ALBUM NOTES

    Face Value examines what happens when the version presented on the surface no longer matches what we recognise underneath. Across four songs, distance, tension, pretence and rewritten memories reveal the difference between accepting what we’re shown and seeing something for what it is.

  • Low White Light EP

    Low White Light EP

    Released 27 February 2026

    Low White Light EP

    Being quiet and being passive
    are not the same thing.

    Low White Light follows Lisa Coles through three different kinds of restraint: finding comfort away from the noise, learning when not to react, and finally questioning the boundaries she has built around herself. Across the EP, quietness gradually changes from somewhere to hide into something she actively chooses.

    TRACKS

    Select any track to read the lyrics and listen to the recording.

    1. Low White Light
    2. Inside The Sound
    3. Edges Of Myself
    ALBUM NOTES

    Low White Light is built around restraint without surrender. Across three songs, Lisa Coles moves from seeking quieter spaces to recognising the confidence that can exist within them, before turning that same attention inward and beginning to reconsider what she has been protecting.

  • Hiding In Plain Sight

    Hiding In Plain Sight

    Released 20 February 2026

    Hiding In Plain Sight

    Everything looks reasonable
    until you notice what was adjusted.

    Hiding in Plain Sight watches the small compromises that make disorder easier to live with. Problems are softened, language is polished, silence becomes sensible and eventually even clarity feels disruptive. Across four songs, Indi-Glo Blue looks at the things everyone can see, provided they stop agreeing not to.

    TRACKS

    Select any track to read the lyrics and listen to the recording.

    1. Everything’s Fine
    2. Polished Chaos
    3. Polite Silence
    4. Say It Plain
    ALBUM NOTES

    Hiding in Plain Sight looks at the habits that make uncomfortable things easier to ignore: smoothing the language, softening the edges, staying polite and carrying on as though nothing has changed. These songs are less interested in dramatic collapse than in the small adjustments that let everything keep looking normal.
