Quar and Peace

Blockhead

A dusty, sample-heavy reflection on isolation. Blockhead trades his cinematic New York grit for a more intimate, playful, and slightly cabin-fevered domesticity.

Find on Amazon

It's the ultimate soundtrack for when you've been in your house for three days straight and start finding the TV commercials funny.

A cozy, slightly eccentric domestic solitude that finds rhythm in the mundane.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the melancholic piano loop on track 1 captures the specific stillness of a locked-down Sunday morning.
The jarring but humorous integration of retro dialogue samples that break the tension of the heavy basslines.
The transition into track 16 where the whistling melody provides a bittersweet, cinematic resolution to the isolation.
