Working Undercover for the Man

Sharp, digital-leaning power pop that satirizes corporate life. A collection of bite-sized, hyper-literate tracks defined by staccato rhythms and dry wit.

Find on Amazon

It's the perfect soundtrack for when you're feeling smarter than your boss but stuck in the same cubicle.

A restless, caffeinated blend of intellectual curiosity and workplace cynicism.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sharp, rhythmic synth pulse that drives the title track into a critique of corporate drudgery.
The jarring transition into the ten-second radio bumpers that break the album's flow like a pirate broadcast.
The melancholic, almost mechanical delivery of the surreal lyrics in I Am a Human Head.
