a critique of the online world of human interaction. within the bounds of our electronic devices, every aspect of design, functionality, and interaction is presented as a vast and ever-expanding space of fluidity--a piece of arcadia, something pristine, worthwhile. there an obvious dissonance, however, as most do not experience or gain any sort of happiness or contentment from the supposed arcadia. there is a disconnect, and it arises between human reality and the reality of the online wherein no one garners any trust; everyone speaks in tongues; everyone hides behind a face; and most attribute honesty to pain. this inevitably creates a rift of isolation which the sounds on the album borrow: intangible synths, sparse composition, and DIY exploration.
