About
Pitched-down vocal samples of ironic corporate slogans loop endlessly over slowed 1980s ad snippets and vinyl crackle, submerged in heavy reverb to evoke a hazy dream of consumerist drudgery. Minimalist structures built from time-stretched drum machines and retro synth pads create surreal, melancholic boardroom nostalgia. Faded memos and echoing 'team player' chants dissolve into cold circuit outro, capturing the surreal irony of sold souls.
