ECHOTECH SOUNDSCAPES PRESENTS
Static Between Stars
Written and Produced By Kymberly Dakins
Performed By AI Artist Lyric Leigh
Static Between Stars is a gothic alt-pop journey that finds a strange, luminous hope within ruin, silence, and shadow. Each song on the record works on two levels: a hauntingly catchy surface for listeners and a layered, metaphorical core for those who want to dig deeper into the themes. The album begins in decay with "Ash in the Ivy," a track about beauty growing from ruin and ivy climbing out of fire. From there, the world fractures and flickers as songs explore static and absence, pulling dangerous treasures from the subconscious.
The journey continues to explore a cursed love and a night-drive anthem stranded between places and lives. At the album's core is "Golden Pulse," the fragile heartbeat of resilience that will not be extinguished. This leads to mischief and defiant hope, culminating in the title track where the record blooms from a hushed signal to a cosmic anthem. What began as haunted silence ends as luminous noise, proving that even scars hum with light, and that hope can disguise itself in the strangest places.
