Mexico EP

Dusty, glitch-heavy bedroom electronics from the band's infancy. A murky collection of tape hiss, fragile vocals, and primitive IDM textures.

It's Hot Chip before they were famous, making weird, glitchy beats in a bedroom with a broken tape deck.

A fragile, insular exploration of sound that feels like eavesdropping on a private experiment.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The rhythmic clicking of 'Tape Spool Sound' that feels like a mechanical heart failing slowly.

The way 'Perfect Circle' stretches out into a nearly eight-minute hypnotic loop of minimal percussion.

The sudden, jarring digital distortion that interrupts the otherwise quiet, melodic passages of the opening track.
