It's like a 1960s psychedelic cartoon come to life in your headphones.

A whimsical and surrealist daydream that feels both innocent and slightly uncanny.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the gentle piano of Mimi Merlot into the frantic character-driven narrative of Butterscotching Mr. Lynn.
The sprawling eighteen-minute finale that dissolves from structured pop into a collage of found sound and spoken word.
The layered vocal harmonies on Penelope that evoke the sun-drenched psychedelia of the mid-sixties.
