Population Override

A warm, patient tribute to 70s vinyl. Long-form guitar jams and vintage keyboards create a melancholic, post-human landscape of restrained virtuosity.

It's the Buckethead album for people who think they don't like Buckethead - pure soul and 70s vibes.

A patient, soulful meditation on a world without people, rendered in warm analog tones.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The slow-burn blues ascent in 'Too Many Humans' where the guitar begins to weep with sustain.

The interplay between the Rhodes piano and the clean, delay-soaked guitar leads on the title track.

The sudden, jarring brevity of 'Humans Vanish' acting as a conceptual reset for the second half.
