about

Modern tech has made "perfect" production an easy trick. It's interesting how much modern pop has intentional human imperfection added on top of the digital perfection: lazy, degraded, sloppy elements becoming bolder and more characteristic, all within the shimmering thing that is pop. I don't pretend to know how to achieve these effects, which I think can be fascinating, but I'm experimenting with it here.

lyrics

show me
show me
something that I haven’t seen before

tell me
tell me
what it is you’re waiting for

don’tcha
wanna
leave it all out on the floor

won’tcha
hav-ta
risk something first

we’re so chill baby
while the sky is burning
we”ll sit still won’t we
and watch the colors glow

these days
seems like
no one knows what to expect

i don’t
you don’t
so maybe that’s why we

my hooks
your plots
just a box of thrift store toys

its a
thin line
between music and noise

we’re so chill baby
while the sky is burning
just be still baby
and watch the colors glow

and it’s a thin line
between new and old
and all the melodies
sound like more code

stop me
stop me
if you’ve heard this one before

don’tcha
know the
last thing i want to be is a bore
