Mystic Familiar

For his fifth studio album, the Baltimore-based electronic composer notably features his own raw, unpitched vocals for the first time throughout the tracklist. The record maintains his signature frantic, maximalist synth arrangements while exploring deeply spiritual themes of meditation, the natural world, and confronting mortality. It features a sweeping, four-part centerpiece sequence titled 'Arp' that anchors the album's chaotic joy.
