Track 3 on [*to sleep (EP)*](/albums/to-sleep/), **December 1, 2018**, [Bandcamp only](https://scoobertdoobert.bandcamp.com/album/to-sleep-ep). Improvised lo-fi hip-hop meditation on death: recorded at a friend's house in LA, mixed in a Greenwich Village coffee shop. Most cuts run under ninety seconds; titles read like fragments from one sleepless conversation.

No lyrics: improvised spoken word and beats, not annotated line-by-line. See [to sleep album notes](/albums/to-sleep/) · [Catalog](/catalog/)
