Unelectable – Zeroes and Ones
An echoing cavern of dark folk-industrial full of clattering percussion, noise, and weird sound shapes.

Hello Midlands – “Wendy”
Melancholic singer-songwriter ballad that fits nicely within the British alt-pop tradition.

D3la.HOZ – Trips (Pre-Album Singles)
Freaky, fantastic, and utterly deranged hybrid of mutant funk, alien R&B, and wild jam-band grooves.
