Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stepping back from the massive orchestral collaborations of his previous work, the Baltimore electronic eccentric self-produced this remarkably focused, beat-driven solo effort. The project embraces ecstatic, looping MIDI sequences and his own prominently featured, pitch-shifted vocals. The manic, joyous pop structures often disguise surprisingly bleak, existential lyrics regarding stress and bodily anxiety.
