Music Has the Right to Children

Seventy minutes of sun-bleached synths and dusty hip-hop breaks. A landmark of hauntology that sounds like a half-remembered childhood dream captured on degraded tape.

Find on Amazon

It sounds like a 1970s nature documentary found in a haunted attic.

A profound sense of artificial nostalgia that feels both comforting and slightly unsettling.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden, crystalline synth swell of Olson that feels like a brief burst of sunlight through clouds.
The rhythmic counting of numbers in Aquarius that transforms a simple math exercise into a psychedelic mantra.
The way the beat in Rue the Whirl feels like it is physically struggling against a dragging tape reel.
