Album Notes & Community Reviews

Standing as Will Toledo's final self-released, entirely solo Bandcamp project before signing to a major indie label, this hour-long 'EP' boasts immense ambition. It prominently features the 14-minute synthesizer-driven epic 'The Ending of Dramamine', highlighting a vast improvement in his lo-fi production skills. The introspective lyricism heavily wrestles with creative isolation, romantic anxiety, and existential dread.
