abstract
with each song being the namesake of a different subway line in my hometown of dallas, this collection combines bouncy, hard-hitting drums with cloudy pads, wailing synths, and nostalgic samples, creating a lush and dynamic soundscape compatible with my unique style of vocal delivery. more than just an exciting and immersive listening experience, the record also offers a critical perspective on contemporary culture. through lyrics that explore topics such as social mythmaking, class warfare, and worker democracy, >light rail< aims to disrupt the spectacle of capitalist realism.
