My Troubled Mind

The Gaslamp Killer

A frantic collage of global psychedelia and heavy-hitting hip-hop. Dusty, distorted, and vibrating with the nervous energy of the Los Angeles underground.

It sounds like a haunted Turkish psych record being played at a riot in a basement.

A frantic, paranoid energy that feels both deeply nostalgic for old vinyl and aggressively futuristic.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden shift in Turk Mex where the percussion becomes a frantic, polyrhythmic assault over a Middle Eastern melody.
The way the bass in Anything Worse seems to physically vibrate the speakers with a distorted, square-wave growl.
The eerie, disconnected vocal snippets that drift in and out of the mix during the transition between Intro B and Baiafro.
