Typical System

Total Control

Jagged post-punk guitars meeting cold, mechanical synths. A paranoid, high-energy soundtrack for navigating concrete labyrinths and late-night urban isolation.

Find on Amazon

It's the perfect record for when you're feeling a bit paranoid about the modern world but still want to dance.

A high-tension blend of urban paranoia and mechanical precision that feels both detached and urgent.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the motorik synth pulse into the jagged guitar stabs on the opening track
The sudden eruption of aggressive distortion that punctuates the otherwise melodic hook of Flesh War
The hypnotic and increasingly claustrophobic thirteen-minute sprawl of Radio Improvisation
