A screenshot of a text message conversation discussing the production details for a physical release. The chat shows an exchange about using "Standard White Matte" labels for a "flat plastic cassette." Included in the messages is a photo of a vibrant blue cassette shell resting next to a printed J-card with a textured, purple and blue abstract design. The interface shows the contact name "Matthew" at the top and a notification "From Sean" appearing as an overlay.

Moving away from the noise.
Past projects lived in the world of Meta and algorithms. For OURORA, we chose to focus only on Bluesky, Bandcamp, and YouTube.
🩵 Thank you for the shares and for making this feel like a community again and again. It means everything. 🕯️

Lost in the quiet hours. 🕯️
Spend some time with "Bunny," the latest video from the debut Very Late Relics album, OURORA.
Full video:
#VeryLateRelics #Bunny #OURORA #Synthwave #LoFi #ExperimentalMusic #Ambient

An abstract, close-up composition featuring fluid, swirling patterns in shades of deep indigo, slate blue, and pale cream. The textures appear liquid or glassy, with organic, wave-like shapes and a subtly frosted or crystalline patch on the left side.

Deep blue currents. 🌊
Fragments from the world of OURORA.
#VeryLateRelics #OURORA

A grainy, distorted vertical video still with a lo-fi "broadcast" aesthetic. The image features deep blues and blacks layered with digital static, white speckles, and sharp horizontal blue lens flares. A central, blurry white form suggesting movement or a figure is caught in the distortion, reminiscent of a vintage VHS tape or a long-lost signal transmission.

Transmitting from “1998”.
📡✨
A detail from the official video in production for “1998” — the focus track off the new Very Late Relics album, OURORA. Coming soon.

A vibrant, translucent blue cassette tape sits in a clear plastic case on a neutral surface. A brilliant, horizontal white and blue lens flare bursts from the center of the tape, creating a glowing, futuristic "relic" aesthetic that masks the tape window.

A relic—blue light in the dark. 💎
The physical shells for OURORA have arrived. No labels, no art, just the glow.
Very Late Relics on cassette, coming soon.

OURORA, by Very Late Relics 10 track album

Love and Thanks for the eyes on the "Bunny" video yesterday. We’re glad it’s finally live.
Today is Bandcamp Friday—100% of all sales come straight to the project. It helps us keep the gears spinning for what’s next.
#BandcampFriday #IndieMusic #VeryLateRelics

A minimalist graphite drawing on white paper depicting a triangular peak, reminiscent of Stapafell. The mountain is a dense, dark mass with a soft, blurred texture at the top, suggesting height and atmospheric fog. In the foreground, several dark, pill-shaped smudges form a diagonal path across a vast white field, leading the eye toward the base of the peak. A faint, arched horizon line connects the mountain to the right edge of the frame, emphasizing the desolate, open landscape.

An expressive graphite sketch of a singular mountain peak on white paper. The mountain is rendered as a dark, textured triangle with jagged, horizontal strokes that create a sense of motion or wind-swept snow. The edges of the peak are soft and hazy, blending into the surrounding white space. Faint, curved graphite lines arc across the background, suggesting a swirling, cold atmosphere or the vastness of the Icelandic sky.

The memory vs. the moment. My brain was still sketching these peaks long after packing up from location. “Bunny” video premiere today, 1pm PST on our YouTube. ☝️ 🏔️ #VeryLateRelics #MusicSky #JazzSky #Ambient #Bunny

A screenshot of a text message conversation on a dark background showing four blue chat bubbles. The first bubble lists five track lengths: 03:37, 04:03, 03:32, 02:19, and 03:14. Below it, a single bubble shows the total time for Side A as 16:45. The third bubble lists five more track lengths: 00:47, 02:34, 05:44, 04:54, and 05:30. The final bubble shows the total time for Side B as 19:29.

Sending Ted the math so the blanks are just right. 📼 Really happy with how the OURORA cassette is shaping up. Side B opens with "Up 3am," which feels like opening a door into a whole new room. It marks the shift into the more improvisational, fluid phase of the album. 🌑 #VeryLateRelics #OURORA

Ted is currently at Outlet PDX running the J-cards for OURORA. Watching our debut album art come to life through a Risograph drum feels right. Gritty, saturated, and slightly unpredictable.
Self-released cassettes coming this spring. 📼✨

The end is just the beginning. The outro stills for “Bunny” are giving us all the cold, mirrored energy we need today. Sean Moran crushed the visual edit on this Iceland footage. 📽️ Stay tuned for the official release in the coming days. 🏔️ #Ambient #Experimental #VeryLateRelics #JazzSky #MusicSky

A video still from the upcoming music video for “Bunny”, track 10 on the debut album OURORA, by Very Late Relics. A mountain scene in the snow.

15 years ago, I was standing in the snow at Snæfellsnes, Iceland, capturing a moment I didn’t know would become our first full-length music video. “BUNNY.” 5+ minutes of sound and vision. Coming soon. ❄️🇮🇸 #VeryLateRelics #Snaefellsnes #MusicVideo #Teaser

A still from the forthcoming music video for the Very Late Relics song “Bunny” showing the band’s name surrounded by a symmetrical smoky effect.

After the 47-second sprint of our first music video for the mini-song “Up 3am,” it’s time for something a bit more… expansive. Sean Moran just finished the intro/outro treatment for our next music video. We’re going deep. 🌬️🌑 #VeryLateRelics #NewMusic

We built this album on the feeling of hindsight—a beautiful, quiet sadness. It’s electronic and organic music that makes you feel, not just move. Link in bio. #Melancholic #VeryLateRelics #Ourora #Jazzsky #Bandcamp #Water

Very Late Relics is the sound of an empty city at 3 AM — ethereal & introspective. Ideal for deep work or deep thoughts. We wrote these songs and still find ourselves daydreaming through a good listen. #studymusic #atmosphere #ambientmusic #soundscape #cinematic #ourora #verylaterelics #newmusic

Up 3am, by Very Late Relics from the album OURORA

There's a specific feeling to 3:00 AM— half-dreaming, half-awake.
Our new track "Up am" captures that with a guitar and a sax solo that feels like flight. It's short (0:47), but it lingers.
Listen to the full Relics catalog at the link in bio.

Negative space is just as important as the notes we play. We designed the production on our new album to breathe, giving the synths and sax room to resonate. #SoundDesign #JazzSky #MusicSky #OURORA #VeryLateRelics

It’s clean, but never sterile. The production on OURORA, by Very Late Relics was focused on letting every detail—from the breath on the sax to the 808's decay—be heard. #losslessaudio #audiophile #gearhead #independentmusic #newmusic #verylaterelics #saxophone
