1 – Helix I started the first half of this song in Venice Beach and finished the last half in Mexico, a year later. It took me a long time to make it work. I still think of it as Helix pt.I and Helix pt.II

2 – Never Be Like You (feat. @listentokai) Kai has an amazing voice and a great ear for melody. Thanks for all the support on this one, it means a lot!

3 – Lose It (feat. @VicMensa) I thought the weird sound at the start of the track sounded like electronic whale calls, so before Vic got on it, this track was called Electro Whale Symphony.

4 – Numb and Getting Colder (feat. @iamkucka) The concept behind this song was figuring out a way to combine sounds from experimental music and pop, then have it make sense. I pitched & sped up Kučka’s vocals to make her sound like an alien babe from the future. It sounded kind of wrong, but also kind of right. This is the track I’m most proud of on the record. Kučka killed it!

5 – Say It (feat. @ToveLo) I heard a Tove Lo track playing at a bar in LA, I didn’t know who it was so I shazamed it. A few days later we were in the studio together, it all came about so quickly! Tove was awesome to work with, she’s such a pro.

6 – Wall Fuck My goal with this song was to create sounds that sound like the fabric of the universe tearing. Then turn them into a song. Lots of distortion here.

7 – Pika I went on a solo mission to Mexico to get out of my comfort zone and write. That’s how this track came about. In this track I was experimenting with using heavy distortion on delicate, beautiful sounds. I love the contrast.
