Content

On KŌAN, cover of The Beach Boys’ “Wouldn't It Be Nice.” Placed after Information and Keep Calm Atomic Bomb, before the job-quit anthem a song to quit your job to. The cover adds California pop nostalgia to an LP already wrestling with happiness, paradox, and what makes you you.

DistroKid cover. No lyrics published here.

360° music video + spatial audio with Max Horwich, also on /music/#selected-videos.

Spotify editorial: @beformer confirmed Modern Psychedelia (May 10, 2022) and Indie Covers (May 24, 2022). See Catalog: official playlists.
