OK Human

Thirty minutes of lush baroque pop recorded with a 38-piece orchestra and zero electric guitars. A vulnerable, piano-led meditation on isolation and technology.

Orchestral departure

A lush, 38-piece orchestra replaces every trace of electric guitar on this warm, analog-recorded document of modern isolation. Inspired by classic 1970s chamber-pop arrangements, the record trades massive power chords for fluttering woodwinds, sweeping strings, and tactile piano melodies. The resulting sound is remarkably intimate, framing quiet reflections on domestic routines and digital fatigue with a grand, cinematic scale.

Moments Worth Waiting For
01All My Favorite SongsThe transition from 'All My Favorite Songs' into 'Aloo Gobi' is seamless, connected by a continuous, elegant string motif.
03Grapes of WrathA fluttering woodwind arrangement on 'Grapes of Wrath' mimics the rhythmic cadence of an audiobook narrator.
Producer Jake Sinclair suggested the album's acoustic direction after encouraging the songwriting to mirror the intimate piano-and-orchestra style of Harry Nilsson.
