The Blue Hour is a Seattle-based duo that blends elements of ethereal, electronic, and neo-classical music to create a haunting dreampop-noir that is reminiscent of 4AD-artists while retaining a fresh vision. The soulful vocals often draws comparison to Kate Bush, while the songwriting and production focuses on finding the balance between melancholy and the sublime. The album features contributions from Barry Galvin (Mephisto Walz/Christian Death), John Fryer (This Mortal Coil, Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode), Pieter Nooten (ex-Clan of Xymox), Mark Gemini Thwaite (Peter Murphy, the Mission) and Wade Alin (Christ Analogue).
