Croatoan is an album steeped in mystery, memory, and the silent spaces between what was lost and what remains. Inspired by the unsolved legend of the vanished Roanoke Colony, this record by Make It New is less a retelling and more a haunting meditation on disappearance—of people, of time, of the self. Recorded between New York and California, Croatoan blends brooding guitar tones, ambient textures, and cinematic dynamics to evoke a world fading into mist. Each track feels like an echo from a forgotten place, carried by wind through forest and sea. The songs are both intimate and expansive, rooted in real emotion yet unbound by genre, pulling from post-rock, folk noir, and minimal classical influences. With Croatoan, Make It New doesn’t just tell a story—he conjures a world, invites you in, and leaves you wandering through its beautiful, unsettling silence long after the music fades.
A Night on Bleecker Street is a raw, nocturnal journey through the soul of a city that never sleeps and a heart that never settles. Written and recorded between New York and California, this album captures the restless energy of downtown streets, late-night revelations, and the unspoken poetry of passing strangers. Blending gritty rock rhythms with cinematic atmosphere and introspective lyrics, Make It New paints each track like a streetlight flickering on wet pavement—flickers of memory, regret, hope, and longing. The guitars are tense and expressive, the melodies streetwise but tender, as if Leonard Cohen wandered into a Velvet Underground rehearsal. It’s an album for anyone who’s walked alone past midnight, chasing meaning through neon lights and faded graffiti. A Night on Bleecker Street doesn’t promise answers—but it knows the questions, and it sings them with conviction.
Childhood’s End is not about growing up—it’s about what gets left behind. Where Scenes from Childhood wanders with wonder, Childhood’s End stands at the threshold of adulthood, looking back with both awe and sorrow. It’s a darker, more introspective companion—haunted by time, change, and the painful beauty of farewell.
With expansive guitars, melancholic piano, and moody atmospheric layers, Make It New captures that liminal feeling of crossing into a new self, unsure whether you’re gaining wisdom or simply losing magic. These are songs of parting, of remembering too much, and of walking forward even when the past still whispers.
Childhood’s End is not a goodbye—it’s the echo after it
Scenes from Childhood is a quiet return to the world we once knew—the one built of hidden places, bedtime stories, long shadows, and first heartbreaks. With tender instrumentation and cinematic restraint, this album unfolds like a memory box left untouched for years, each track revealing a different fragment of innocence, wonder, or loss.
Drawing on ambient textures, minimalist melodies, and subtle acoustic motifs, Scenes from Childhood invites listeners to linger in that fragile space between nostalgia and truth. It’s a sonic diary of growing up and growing distant, of remembering things as they felt rather than as they were. Poetic, introspective, and deeply human, this album is a tribute to the moments that shape us—however quietly they may pass.
