odd pop, syntax era

In My Building

In My Building there is a collection of instrumental music from the 1980s. pop star left turns, weird throwaway b-sides, synth scientists experiments, new wave rabbit holes, and other deep cuts all containing that special brand of existential dread predisposed to Generation X.
