Mills: “NOWHERE is about embracing the fear of the unknown with the magic
fantastical faith, when these elements collide, portals to fourth dimensions appear.”

First single: FORBIDDEN

Mills: “Beneath the chilly glow of the moon, one might ponder, with a wry smile, the delicious conundrum of the forbidden. Ah, the thrill of diving into the depths of desire, to satiate an unnamable yearning! In the grand opera of life, some find their hearts drawn to the most enigmatic of duets, a dance shrouded in secrecy, away from the prying eyes of the world’s chorus”.

The eerie video, directed by Ellen Hawk, delves into this mystery realm
with gusto, taking us on a strange sojourn into the moonlight.

TUTV: This is vintage orchestral post-punk grandeur. Pete Mills‘s towering
voice takes this astonishing aria-like anthem to an overwhelming level.

The symphonious and highly infectious melodiousness is mind-boggling.
Darkwave melodrama at its glorious best. Opera writers should consider
creating a Gothic spectacle with Forbidden as the main song.
