The Ocean. The power is terrifying and comforting
murderous and life giving
she will take care of you as long as you respect her
The second you forget, she will remind you, 
harsh and swift. 
She has boundless beauty and even more plentiful life
We have finally made it
Lo, the Ocean!

The Water Cycle.

Stream (interlude)

rain

The second studio album from Hideous Gomphideous, Transmissions, explores the messages we leave for each other every day, and the emotions attached to them.

Bender

The mood shifts. Low, growling samples swell into an atmospheric rush of strings and drums, like a mind slipping into distraction while the body keeps moving. There’s work to do, but thoughts are elsewhere—a foggy, scattered headspace full of half-formed ideas and background noise.

Graffiti

The goblin wakes up—excited, disoriented, and ready for whatever chaos awaits. Chopped-up hip-hop piano collides with a driving beat, capturing the jittery rush of waking up with too many ideas and no clear plan. It’s messy, it’s manic, and it’s the perfect way to start the day.

Wake Up (Groggy)

A brief moment of peace. Fender Rhodes, jazzy chords, and deep 808s make this one a classic, cozy lofi track. It’s warm cookies, soft blankets, and the scent of old books—a rare, quiet pause in an otherwise chaotic day.


Tea with Grandma

Every good day starts with movement. This track wanders through dreamy pianos and swelling synths, unfolding like a long, aimless stroll through misty streets. There’s no rush—just the gentle momentum of stepping forward, knowing you’ll make it home when you’re ready.

Get Ready

The most hyped-up track on the album, this is pure high-speed adrenaline. Reverberating saw bass and explosive builds give way to a massive drop that makes you want to run, jump, and headbang until your neck gives out. The goblin is absolutely unhinged, bouncing off the walls at 400 mph.


Trespassing

A goblin’s gotta stay caffeinated. Fat basslines, spinning Wurlitzer keys, and a weirdly delightful synth solo paint the picture of sipping coffee at sunrise, enjoying the peace before the day spirals into madness. It’s warm, jittery, and just a little off-kilter—exactly like that first sip hitting your bloodstream.


Coffee

The city is quiet now. Lush Fender Rhodes, deep bass, and saxophone melodies create an atmospheric, lonely soundscape, like walking through dark, wet streets with nothing but your thoughts. The world still buzzes in the distance, but here, everything feels still.


Walkin' Home

Back to business. Reverb-drenched strings and a spooky saw bass set the tone for a dark, driving hip-hop beat that feels like creeping through alleyways and making backroom deals. The goblin’s mischief levels are at an all-time high.


Jaywalkin'

The goblin kicks back, victorious. Sampled old-film strings and a laid-back boom-bap beat set the scene: lounging by the pool, drink in hand, basking in the glow of a perfectly executed day of chaos. Everything feels rich, smooth, and effortless.


Pizza Break

Pure 8-bit optimism laced with acoustic guitars and sequenced keys, this is the sound of boundless possibility. The goblin has no obligations—only adventure, and every corner of the world is waiting to be explored.


Goblin's Day Off

The goblin gets reckless. Heavy drums, grooving bass, and head-banging energy make this track feel like kicking over trash cans and laughing about it. It’s aggressive, chaotic, and confident as hell—the kind of music that makes you want to break something just to hear the sound.
