False Priest

A high-gloss collision of Prince-inspired funk and neurotic indie pop. Dense, rubbery basslines meet hyper-literate lyrics in a neon-lit studio playground.

It's like Prince and David Bowie had a baby in a very expensive studio and that baby was really, really anxious.

A manic, neon-colored celebration of neurosis fueled by deep-pocket funk grooves.

You Do Mutilate?

Moments Worth Waiting For

The explosive transition into the chorus of Coquet Coquette where the guitars finally bite through the synth sheen

Janelle Monáe's vocal entrance on Enemy Gene providing a soulful counterpoint to the jittery electronic pulse

The extended psychedelic breakdown of You Do Mutilate? that dissolves the album's funk structure into a sprawling sonic haze
