about

These four songs were composed and produced when I was moving back to Tel Aviv after living in Brooklyn for six years. I didn't realize at the time that the transition was an inflection point, and after finishing the EP I realized this collection of songs was a letter to things I both loved and hated about modern cosmopolitan life.

For rich culture and constant movement we sacrifice the ability to have simple, mundane human interactions -- knowing the person at your local coffee shop, working for minimum wage and probably a musician too, asking “what can I get for you today?” isn’t really there in their mind but doesn’t know where else to put their body.

It took me a long time to understand how a life of abundance can be limiting, but why so many people I love desire it so religiously. I guess if the 20th century’s motto was “better to reign in hell than to serve in heaven”, so far the 21st’s motto is “better to serve in hell than not to serve at all”.

I think this feeling is explained best by lyrics from the title track Repack The Junk:

“Dreamin’ is a business and business is woke,
Everything’s amazing and everyone’s broke.”
