don't make me cry

Elijah Who

Fourteen minutes of tape-saturated vignettes. Submerged pianos and crackling dialogue samples create a heavy, heart-aching atmosphere for the dead of night.

A heavy, tape-saturated melancholy that feels like looking at old photos of an ex.

Moments Worth Listening For
The muffled, underwater piano lead on 'seaside' that feels like a memory fading in real time.
The heart-wrenching vocal sample in the title track that cuts through the thick layer of tape hiss.
The way the percussion on 'nod off' mimics the heavy, rhythmic blink of someone fighting sleep.
