lobsterfight

Imagine a grand piano being pushed down a flight of stairs in a room full of synthesizers and you are halfway to the lobsterfight experience. This is music that refuses to sit still, jumping from delicate, classically-informed piano melodies to abrasive, screaming emo-core in the span of a single measure. It is deeply rooted in the DIY spirit of the 2020s 'fifth wave' emo scene, but replaces the standard twinkly guitars with a frantic, keyboard-centric maximalism.

What truly sets them apart is the interplay between Anguel Sanchez’s percussive piano style and James Gove’s hyper-active drumming. The production is often intentionally blown-out and textured with digital artifacts, creating a sound that feels both intimate and overwhelming. It captures the specific sensory overload of the internet age, where beauty and noise are constantly fighting for space in your ears.

Start with 'a lobster, bee, & cicada walk into a bar and find god' to hear the project at its most ambitious. It is a perfect entry point for anyone who loves the emotional honesty of modern emo but wants a sound that is more rhythmically complex and sonically unpredictable. It is music for people who find comfort in a little bit of beautiful chaos.
