Playboy

A dusty, glitch-flecked snapshot of early indietronica. Fragile vocals meet wonky laptop beats in a charmingly unpolished exploration of digital anxiety.

It's the sound of a very talented nerd having a mild existential crisis over a broken drum machine.

A quiet, glitchy meditation on the frustrations of modern life and the fragility of human connection.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The way the beat in 'Defeated by Technology' seems to struggle against its own digital constraints, mirroring the lyrical frustration.

The sudden, jarring shift into the Four Tet remix of 'Ass Attack' that strips the track into a skeletal, hypnotic rhythm.

The fragile, unsupported falsetto delivery on 'From Drummer to Driver' that feels like it might break at any second.
