Alopecia

Hyper-literate indie-pop meets abstract hip-hop. A neurotic, dusty, and brilliant collection of songs about self-loathing, mortality, and the mundane.

It's like a panic attack you can actually dance to.

A restless, hyper-literate dive into the anxieties of modern life, balanced by dusty, melodic beauty.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The transition from the driving beat of The Vowels, Part 2 into the skeletal, piano-led vulnerability of Good Friday.

The infectious, hand-clap-driven rhythm of Fatalist Palmistry clashing with lyrics about mortality and palm reading.

The way the percussion in The Hollows feels like it's stumbling forward just as Yoni Wolf delivers his most rapid-fire, dense wordplay.
