Suspiciously naive and eerily barren ambiances from one of the internet’s most profoundly dark storytellers. David Firth was part of the golden age of the internet, where pre-meme storytelling was done via unregulated and obnoxiously creative websites such as Newgrounds, where tech savvy outsiders could present games and animations created with a program called Adobe Flash. David’s most notorious work was undoubtedly the Salad Fingers series, which alongside his wider work explored themes of mental health, abuse and romance, with an inimitably creepy atmosphere.

David’s early work often called upon the extra-terrestrial melancholy of Warp Records roster to soundtrack his videos, whilst occasionally giving credit to his own musical outlet ‘Locust Toybox’, which has gone on to release over 11 albums since 2002. Throughout this time, the internet grew into the socially driven beast that it is today, and with it, spawned a generation of weirdo’s who grew up exploring the infinite recesses of outsider creativity on communities such as the aforementioned Newgrounds.

One of these weirdo’s was none other than Flying Lotus, who for a long time would name David Firth as one of his influences, and eventually go on to start a slew of perfectly matched collaborations with him. David invited FlyLo onto his own animations, and went on to release this album on FlyLo’s Brainfeeder records. This collaboration because it’s combines two seemingly disparate creatives in perfect harmony, extended the lineage of inspiration into new, familiar territory, and providing an extension to the timeline of one of the most exciting times for both electronic music (via FyLo) and the internet itself (via David Firths animations).
