side is a confession of “going public (IRL).” The record voices the evolution of individuality from private vulnerability into the elevated socialite—confident w/ clout.
As sonically recognizable as it is esoteric, the product couples Dow One’s virtuosic melodic craftsmanship with sohsie LAN’s rhythmic hype. Together, they show how one might find//lose themselves in the force of commodity, a force as undeniable as the “right kind of party” where everyone is plugged into the universal feeling, sing-a-long style.
