This is my sophomore album, Stim Snacks. This album is about social media. It’s about cravings and interests, plans falling through, addictions, and overstimulation. It’s about food poisoning, vomiting, and the eventual relief of just cutting off the consumption of what’s ultimately killing you. It’s an advertisement for anti-advertisement. It's the 21st century mission.
Stim Snacks are the little things the system tries to feed you to hold you down. All the little ways the media tries to suffocate you or waste your existence as a product on a shelf. I think the term “consumer” is deceptive, as, more often than not, capitalism consumes you. It’s that feeling of dread after you’ve completely wasted your energy. When the hours blaze by and nothing is learnt or gained. I wrote these songs as an artistic attempt at transcending those ideas. I believe it is an optimistic performance of escape from the mindset that we, as products for success, are being used. I hope you find these Stim Snacks tasteful.
