Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as a bright, optimistic companion piece to the darker tones of their 'The Campfire Headphase' album, this project leans heavily into sun-bleached synthesizer melodies and crisp hip-hop breaks. It notably includes an excellent remix of 'Dayvan Cowboy' by fellow IDM producer Odd Nosdam. The release was accompanied by a distinctive marketing campaign involving hidden codes buried in the album artwork and online flash animations.
