A bold and atmospheric reimagining of Daniel Tompkins’ 2019 solo debut Castles, Ruins strips away the electronic‑pop gloss and rebuilds the material with darker, heavier and more aggressive textures. Co‑produced with Paul Ortiz (Chimp Spanner), the album dives into themes of emotional collapse and personal transformation through cinematic sound design, progressive arrangements and Tompkins’ unmistakable vocal intensity. Featuring standout guest appearances from Plini and Matt Heafy (Trivium), this 2021 Kscope LP delivers a complete sonic overhaul — immersive, raw and uncompromising.
