/* different aesthetics meet house music */

started this project well over a year ago now. since I hold this project so near and dear to my heart, I wanted it to be as clean and consistent as possible.

hesitated to release this project for much longer than I should've since this project is a bit more experimental and deviates a bit from my more recognizable styles.

also wanted to show this project to y'all as a reminder of versatility <3

+= s/o my best bro Nuutti for the title idea <3

THE LAST HOUSEBENDER

[ He's subdued for too long. ]

You had the opportunity to live in a more caring household. But due to them moving away from your hometown where your whole life is, now, in addition to already being heavily bullied in primary school, your option was to live in a family of neglect, incompetence, and a constant, slightly intense atmosphere.

You had to be aware of your surroundings, which nowadays manifests within you as hypervigilance. A good example of this is that you used to have this habit of gaming with headphones on but with only one cup on your ear so you could still hear what was going on in other rooms. And due to your father, now fully a single parent, often ending up in mostly verbal fights with your sibling, you always had to be the one to intervene, to settle the conflicts "for now". 

You often recall a certain incident when you had to call the police on your sibling for beating your father in order to escape the house for another week. In this household, you were forced to grow up too quickly which interrupted your time as a kid by the time you entered middle school.

If it ain't your time to go, that bullet's goin' over your head

Within Helpless

HAPPY NEW YEAR

let me drag you down into feeling the despair and hopelessness inside the modern day North Korean dystopia. mix that with the dreamy atmosphere of wave, heavy inspiration from Burial, future garage, and deep dubstep.

some sample trivia:
- sampled a song that's played EVERY MORNING and EVERY EVENING on the streets of Pyongyang
- guess what sample is taken from a North Korean film that features an actual ballistic missile launch
- there's also a sample taken from Anthony Padilla's interview with some defectors
- last, but not least: can you spot a Clubbed to Death sample?
