Skeletal Lamping

A hyper-kinetic collage of glam-funk and fragmented art-pop. Dense, disorienting, and deeply neurotic songs that shift gears every thirty seconds.

It's like a Prince record that's having a very colorful, very public nervous breakdown.

A restless, hyper-kinetic exploration of identity that oscillates between euphoric dance-funk and harrowing psychological vulnerability.

The production is pushed notably harder into maximalist than this artist usually allows.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The jarring shift in 'Nonpareil of Favor' from a melodic pop start into a terrifying wall of industrial noise.

The effortless transition from the heavy psych-funk of 'Plastis Wafer' into the delicate acoustic bridge.

The way 'Id Engager' anchors the chaotic album with a perfectly polished, infectious disco-funk groove.
