"I Come From Mercer Island" is a satirical look at privilege and wealth in the Pacific Northwest tech bubble. This track explores the insulated worldview of growing up in one of Seattle's most affluent enclaves, where Microsoft stock formed family fortunes and social consciousness rarely extends beyond the lakefront properties.
The contrast between Mercer Island and neighboring communities like Tukwila serves as a backdrop for examining how wealth shapes perspectives, creates bubbles of privilege, and sometimes leads to comical disconnection from reality.
