Bleach Dreamer’s “Last Train To Midnight” was made for that strange hour when the city has gone quiet, but your thoughts absolutely refuse to.

Cosmic Anxiety’s debut feels like a late-night confession set to neon-lit synths. Formed by Eli and Gasher after the breakup of Clash Clash Bang Bang in 2025, the Berlin-based project trades their former setup for something more electronic, more intimate, and somehow more devastating.

Written, performed, produced, mixed, mastered, and visually designed by Kwolek himself, the single feels unmistakably handmade, like a carefully weathered artifact.

VJA, the Los Angeles–based musician, is preparing to make a striking debut with the album “Compartments,” set for release on March 13, 2026.
