Expanding his hypnagogic pop output, this album utilizes cheap keyboards, MIDI horns, and heavily degraded cassette recording techniques to explore themes of early 2000s globalism. The project acts as a hazy, surreal sonic time capsule, mimicking the aesthetics of hold music, late-night infomercials, and digital utopianism. It serves as a crucial, bizarre stepping stone toward the emerging vaporwave movement.
