Elephant Eyelash

A pivotal shift from abstract hip-hop to neurotic indie pop. Brittle guitars, dusty percussion, and hyper-literate lyrics for the perpetually overthinking.

It's like if a very anxious poet started a folk-rock band but forgot he used to be a rapper.

A nervous, hyper-articulate blend of childhood nostalgia and adult anxiety.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The transition into the driving, melodic hook of Rubber Traits that anchors the album's indie-rock pivot.

The way Gemini (Birthday Song) stretches out into a sprawling, multi-part epic of self-reflection.

The skeletal, percussive opening of Crushed Bones that sets the tone for Yoni Wolf's rhythmic delivery.
