Produced with Luke Davis, 'Black Water' bounds down to a series of genres that spans between reverb-soaked synth alongside percussive hits. With a dark yet mesmerising production, listeners are captivated by the artist's hazy vocals; bringing the whole track together.

"Black Water is about conflicting images of the self and the fear of one's own deepest desires... reaching a tension so that everything stops," explained Trafton. "To me, it feels like the eye of a great storm... a surreal moment of profound rarity and significance that I tried to bring to life through the production." With such a unique sound, Trafton finds closure for himself and for the listeners who give him a chance.

Climbing from New England, the self-taught producer has had already a successful career but has left space to continue to grow within 2021.
