Created outside of Jeff Kleinman’s work with Choir Boy, the project leans into a raw, homespun approach rooted in garage punk energy and plainspoken songwriting. Across a concise runtime, the album balances rolling basslines, brittle synth textures, and motorik drum patterns, favouring momentum and instinct over polish.
