Mumps, Etc.

Dense, hyper-literate indie rap meeting orchestral chamber pop. A lushly arranged inventory of modern anxieties, health scares, and sharp-witted self-loathing.

It's like a panic attack but with a really nice string section and better vocabulary.

A meticulously arranged inventory of neuroses that balances dark humor with genuine existential dread.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The sudden explosion of the eight-member choir on Sod in the Seed that turns a rap verse into a grand anthem.

The delicate, interlocking harp and flute patterns on Strawberries that feel like a clockwork music box.

The way the rhythmic tension breaks into a lush, string-laden chorus on Waterlines.
