Recorded from May 2024 - August 2024 in North Philadelphia
Pseudo-Tropical Lullabies for plants that grow through Concrete Crevasses
A road that no longer exists
Fractured Paradise
Legs groped in wire
A saturated yet ruinous fantasy meshed in a crooked shoe fence
Pallet Fountains is a record heavily inspired by the ruinous environment that surrounded me at the time living in North Philadelphia Summer 2024. Huge plants would grow through concrete and sprawl in empty lots where apartments used to stand. The environment felt like a tropical, yet jurassic wasteland of exotic plants meshed through trash and jagged fences, paved over by roads and sidewalks, eroding to nature. The themes of the record bring attention to identity, sex, fear, fantasy, and relationships, enmeshing itself with the complex relationship between nature and construct, blooming plants and boarded houses. This record was made in various living rooms, common spaces, and bathrooms, utilizing an array of objects like pots and pans, forks and knives, measuring cups, Boom-whackers, Bathtubs, Trash Cans, toy instruments, trash on the street. The record is otherwise a showcase of nature at odds with our trash.
