Sod in the Seed EP

A neurotic blend of academic rap and brittle indie pop. Dense with self-conscious wordplay and dusty, melodic percussion for the chronically over-analytical.

It's like your smartest, most anxious friend decided to start rapping again over some really nice vibraphones.

A restless, hyper-literate exploration of social discomfort and internal monologue.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The title track's rapid-fire delivery of hyper-specific social anxieties over a bouncy, melodic piano loop.

The sudden shift into a lush, multi-tracked vocal harmony that briefly masks the cynicism of the lyrics.

The way the percussion on 'Shag Carpet' feels slightly detached, mimicking the narrator's own sense of displacement.
