Album Notes & Community Reviews

Merging the raw vulnerability of classic singer-songwriter traditions with sleek, upbeat electronic production, the artist delivers a caustically humorous and deeply personal record. The lyrics navigate themes of mortality, illness, and romantic frustration with a sharp, sarcastic wit that perfectly contrasts the polished, synthesizer-driven instrumentation.
