From Bandcamp, "This ambitious concept album explores the increasingly blurred lines between the real and digital worlds. The narrative centers on a protagonist living a life of loneliness, addiction, and isolation. He finds his only sense of purpose and identity when he logs into his computer, where he views himself as a robot in a vast digital landscape. His only friend is the silent crow from the game, who never speaks but is always there in times of need. When logged off, he is left with nothing; when logged in, he has a purpose. The album is a poignant journey through themes of escapism, love, and what it means to be human in an age of technological dependency." The album has eight songs, and "Linter" is first. It's a gorgeous synth sounds that fills the room with the delicate smell of flowers. There is a bit of darkness as well, and that seems to fit the themes mentioned above.

"Operator" also reflects some of these melancholy themes, and there is a haste here that is akin to a foot chase. The female vocals really reflect the inevitable darkness that can follow a solitary existence online. "Null the System" is another synth led song, and they create a lush sound that long for more of. The melodies are simple, but very effective, and the sound rises and swells for more feeling. "My Main Function" is the centerpiece of the album, clocking in at 11 minutes. It stays pretty steady through the first few minutes until a dark cloud looms overhead and brings strong winds with it. From there, it picks up speed, darting in and out of shadows trying to stay ahead of its pursuer. The pursuer finally drops off the face of the map at the end of the song, and it leaves you with question marks of where to go.

"UI" has stern tones that are almost warnings. "Don't push it," the song exudes. The tension is so thick at first, then it fades when the sun rises like thinly veiled fog. Melodic tones follow, and they are gentle, and just a bit sad. "If Else" talks about the dangers of being dependent on technology, with the lyric lines "its getting close to midnight, no reason to exist. Somethings come to take me, the cold and the mist." These dangers are reflected in the dark tone of the music as well. "Inheritence" is frail, almost as if they have reached a turning point and a decision must be made, yet they don't have any guidance. Think. Ponder. Consider. It's quite charming. "Pixel Shader" has the lyric line of "pixelate so I be displayed, in each dimensional wave," and the tones are darker once again. So far, the album has done a wonderful job of storytelling.

"Nested Scratch" is the final song, and it's calm, pretty, and warm. I can identify with someone who feels more alive when logged onto a computer, as well acknowledge the isolation that can bring. It's a dual edged sword, like a lot of choices we have to make in life. The album does a wonderful job of bringing this quandary to life. But it doesn't necessarily bring closure. Instead, it leaves you with the idea that these choices are yours to make, and yours alone.
