GUILLOTINE’s narrative is divided roughly into 4 acts of 4 songs, so that is how i plan to release it. the first act's theme is DISUNITY. these 4 songs are about some of my earlier years in los angeles with a pipedream of being a rockstar, but being hit over the head with apathy and disinterest. i'd go to shows and people weren't there to have fun--they were there to be seen having fun. everyone seemed consumed by trying to hustle hustle hustle & gain social capital & be in the cool kids club, even if the gatekeepers were garbage human beings. it felt like no one was listening to the part of themselves that made them feel alive--like everyone was betraying themselves. and, at the time, my ego was warping how i understood all that and i took it extremely personally. i was angry at the city around me and angry at myself for not being able to do anything to change it. little did i know how much i still had to learn.
