Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Kid Koala

A whimsical, dusty debut where the turntable becomes a storyteller. Narrative-driven scratches and vintage samples create a cinematic, comic-book world.

A whimsical and slightly lonely journey through a world built from radio static and vintage vinyl.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the trumpet solo in track 4 stumbles and slurs through pitch-shifted scratches like a literal drunkard.
The jarring but cozy transition into the hyper-caffeinated morning routine dialogue of track 7.
The heavy, bluesy guitar riff in track 3 being dismantled and reassembled by rhythmic scratching.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
