K–12

A surrealist high school allegory told through trap-infused art pop. Childlike melodies mask sharp social critiques and heavy, digital production.

It's like if a Tim Burton movie was a trap-pop album set in a haunted elementary school.

A defiant and theatrical exploration of institutional trauma through a surrealist, pastel lens.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The rhythmic integration of a pencil sharpener and paper tearing in the percussion of Nurse's Office.
The dramatic shift into a sweeping, orchestral waltz during the bridge of High School Sweethearts.
The unsettling use of a bus engine and children's chatter to ground the opening track's beat.
