People think of love, and they think of endless sunlight and flowers in full bloom. But love isn't a painting, a moment, or a season -- it's more like a garden. It blooms and withers, no matter how hard you try to take care of it. Loveliness Made Damned is a visual album spanning four musical works, each a part of the same budding story. A story of love, loss, and fighting your way out of the woods. A personal documentation of all the cracks that start to form before the break. The euphoria of a good day that you think will save everything, the desperation of a bad day that you know will shake you awake, and the grey areas in between: the loaded silences, holding each other because it’s too hard to let go, and trying your best to make something out of a dwindling supply of nothing.
