i will be my own hell because there is a devil inside my body

A definitive document of 2010s bedroom lo-fi. Fragile indie rock melodies suffocated by tape hiss, static, and a profound sense of suburban isolation.

It sounds like a haunted cassette tape found in a basement and it's perfect for when you're feeling miserable.

A suffocating but strangely comforting sense of suburban isolation and existential dread.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The sudden shift from the fragile acoustic opening of 'anne' into the saturated noise of the following tracks.

The way the drums feel like they are struggling to break through a thick wall of tape hiss on 'cop graveyard'.

The sprawling, nearly five-minute descent of the final track where the repetition becomes a hypnotic, numbing drone.
