Tally All the Things That You Broke

Five tracks of jittery, bone-dry art punk. Sharp guitar angles collide with deadpan poetry and unexpected, danceable grooves.

It's like a nervous breakdown you can actually dance to.

A nervous, highly caffeinated burst of urban skepticism and rhythmic playfulness.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The frantic, high-pitched harmonica blast that pierces through the opening seconds of You've Got Me Wonderin' Now.
The sudden transition into a loose, cowbell-driven hip-hop groove on the sprawling final track He's Seeing Paths.
