I've been working on this record for the better part of 3+ years. Much of the over-all concept was born out of a response to things related to the COVID-19 pandemic, either with themes of 'Escapism' and 'Isolation' (and the comfort that can come with it at times), or wanting to mentally remove myself to a safe space away from reality, as well as binge-watching trash TV with my partner, like 'Love Island', which definitely inspired the album cover and some of the track titles (such as 'Villa Dreamin'). Aesthetically there's also some loose nods to the liminal spaces present in "Hyperbolic Time Chamber" vibes from 'DBZ', the digital world as depicted in the 'Digimon' movie from the 90's, and my love for Pokemon (with 'Rare Candy'). I hope you enjoy this journey from start to finish!

Sam Turner (creator of the indie beat rhythm game 'Slip Dream Resonator') for allowing the album version of 'Polygon Edge (Bittersweet Bop)' to premier/ be featured in their game! <3

@wearenova (label), because even though there was an issue with my upload & 'PEPSI® Blood' was sadly unable to appear on their 'OGC 2023' compilation, I'd' have never made the tune without being prompted to for that comp, & it truly belonged on this album!

Why are you here? I’m just here for the music and “music” to drown out the cacophony in my head.

Any and all public playlists to be random-ish and unorganized since they’ll be made exclusively on mobile, updated as songs are listened to. Audio is vetted on audio alone so cover art will vary by artist/poster. Grab bags will be added to until the limit and dupes across playlists can GTFO. Too lazy to put in the effort of organizing any of it at the moment. Genres span just about anything including but not limited to rock, lo-fi, bedroom pop, steampunk, EDM, D&B, funk, rap, orchestral, vocaloid/voice-synth, instrumental, VGM, 8-bit/chiptune, etc... and the occasional shitpost meme. 

If you like tracks in a playlist then check out the artist pages. I don’t often post all works in a grab bag. Remember to support artists so that they can continue putting out music.

Ps - Dunno why you’re bothering to read this, but thanks? I use this mostly just to listen to music on mobile when I’m not binge listening to podcasts. Maybe I should start reposting things since apparently some people follow me...
