Inside 'Ode To Humidity'

Key tracks on the album include:
- “When I Take My Final Shape” – The album's single featuring an infectious, inviting chorus.

- “Jukebox Oblivion” – An atmospheric track highlighted by a subtle organ arrangement.
- “Don’t Forget The Hot Sauce” – A song defined by its repetitive phrasing and understated commentary.
- “Queen of the Lepers” – Incorporates modern imagery including bitcoin and avatars into its narrative.
