About this track
A No Wave descent into bargain-fueled self-deception. Jagged guitars, mechanical rhythms, and anti-melodic vocals transform an innocent piece of curbside furniture into an object of suspicion, obsession, and questionable life choices. The Ottoman follows a narrator who keeps finding new reasons to walk away—and even better reasons to haul it home anyway. Equal parts absurd comedy and urban anxiety, it's a portrait of optimism overriding common sense one excuse at a time.
