- Description
- Tracklist
Originally released in 2015, Abyss introduced Pastel Ghost's signature "dreamrave" sound-a fusion of ethereal shoegaze textures and pulsing electronic rhythms.
The album established her as a defining voice in modern darkwave and dream pop. Featuring the viral track "Dark Beach."
A hazy and introspective darkwave release, Abyss drifts between vulnerability and unease, pairing ethereal melodies with a distinctly nocturnal undercurrent.
The album represents a more inward-facing chapter for Pastel Ghost, leaning further into atmosphere and emotional tone than overt aggression. Its understated approach aligns it with modern darkwave and synth-driven melancholy, emphasizing mood and texture over traditional song structures.
Soft-focus synth lines, restrained rhythms, and airy vocal delivery give the record its dreamlike pull. Beneath the surface calm, a persistent sense of tension and isolation lingers, shaping the album’s quietly immersive character.
Recommended for listeners drawn to darkwave that favors mood, introspection, and emotionally charged electronic soundscapes.
