The Life and Times of a Paperclip

The Garden

Eighteen minutes of hyper-kinetic bass and drum minimalism. Surreal, high-speed art punk that feels like a cartoon fight in a haunted skatepark.

Find on Amazon

It's sixteen tracks of bass-and-drum chaos that finishes before your coffee gets cold.

A hyperactive and surrealist explosion of youthful, creative defiance.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The nineteen-second manifesto of Vada Vada that defines the twins' entire creative philosophy in a single breath.
The title track's abrupt thirty-three second explosion of bass noise that ends before you can process the rhythm.
The way the drums and bass lock into a frantic, mechanical groove on Gumdrops that feels like a toy breaking.
