Pillowhead

Dynamite Hack

Acoustic guitars and deadpan harmonies meet satirical reinterpretations of hip-hop. A warm, suburban snapshot of late-90s alternative irony.

Find on Amazon

It's the album where gangsta rap gets a gentle acoustic makeover and somehow it actually works.

A clever, laid-back blend of suburban boredom and sharp satirical wit.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarring contrast of aggressive gangsta rap lyrics delivered with the delicate precision of a Simon and Garfunkel harmony on track 5.
The hidden track tension during the nearly fourteen-minute closer where the silence builds a sense of suburban mystery.
The way the acoustic guitar brightens into a full band arrangement on the title track, bridging the gap between folk and 90s alt-rock.
