For #BandcampFriday I'd like to bring Hyperestis to your attention. https://hyperestis.bandcamp.com/

Hyperestis

Somewhere in the landscape between darkwave and dream-pop, Portland, Oregon's Hyperestis ("high priestess") creates music with mournful vocals, synth sounds reminiscent of the late 80s, and darkly poetic lyrics, with sparing use of guitar and bass.

This is such a great read. https://www.theguardian.com/news/ng-interactive/2026/jan/29/what-technology-takes-from-us-and-how-to-take-it-back
