Happiness Is an Inside Job

Royal & the Serpent

High-tension alt-pop that mirrors the frantic rhythm of social anxiety. Glitchy, neon-soaked anthems for the overstimulated and the overwhelmed.

It's like a panic attack you can actually dance to.

A high-strung, neon-lit exploration of mental health that feels both claustrophobic and cathartic.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarring vocal glitch that interrupts the phrase I'm fine on the opening track, mimicking a mental short-circuit.
The sudden shift from a skeletal beat to a wall of distorted guitars during the climax of Death of Me.
The frantic, breathless delivery in Happiness 4 Dummies that sounds like a person trying to convince themselves they are okay.
