Album Notes & Community Reviews

Ryan Santiago's second studio full-length continues to deconstruct the boundaries between commercial pop and abrasive alternative rock textures. The production utilizes high-contrast arrangements, shifting between minimalist electronic beats and massive, distorted guitar swells. Its conceptual framework addresses spiritual void and the search for identity within the hyper-speed consumption of modern entertainment culture.
