200 Million Thousand

Scuzzy garage rock dipped in psychedelic murk. Blown-out harmonies meet swampy blues and strange hip-hop detours in a haze of tape saturation.

It's like a 60s garage band got lost in a swamp and started making hip-hop beats on a broken tape deck.

A paranoid, drug-fueled trip through a Southern basement that manages to be both chaotic and strangely melodic.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The unexpected shift into a slow, hazy hip-hop beat on The Drop I Hold with its spoken-word delivery.

The chaotic, feedback-drenched crescendo that closes out the eight-minute experimental epic Meltdown.

The way the jangly guitar riff in Drugs fights for space against a wall of tape hiss and distorted vocals.
