Ashes

**Ashes** is the moody electronic brainchild of Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist Ash Levy, who launched the project in 2018 as a gritty fusion of darkwave, post-punk, and glitchy synth experimentation. Known for brooding lyrics that wrestle with existential dread, fractured relationships, and tech-age alienation, Ashes’ recent tracks like *ERROR 404* and *Oil & Water* layer haunting vocals over industrial beats, while *Vesuvius* and *Shrouded* lean into apocalyptic imagery and raw emotional catharsis. Their DIY ethos shines through lo-fi music videos and self-produced EPs, often collaborating with underground visual artists to amplify their stark, cyberpunk aesthetic. Though details about their personal life stay shrouded (pun intended), Ashes’ 2023-2024 releases—including the pulsing *Timelines* and *Rend*—hint at a artist deeply plugged into the anxieties of modern connectivity, all while keeping one foot firmly in the shadows.
