Mister Mellow

A jittery, sample-heavy collage of millennial burnout. Dusty hip-hop breaks and warped synths trade the beach for a claustrophobic, neon-lit apartment.

It's like a 90s hip-hop record found in a haunted beach house.

A restless, sample-heavy meditation on the exhaustion of modern life hidden behind a mask of groove.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The transition from the jittery Title Card into the heavy, hip-hop influenced groove of Burn Out Blues.

The way Floating By uses a bossa-nova rhythm that feels like it's melting under a hot sun.

The frantic, house-inflected energy of Get Lost breaking the album's hazy lethargy.
