Entry Level Forever

Built around Being stuck in entry-level jobs that require five years of experience, the absurdity of modern job hunting. Echo Park's neon-lit synth palette carries the concept through indie that rewards repeat listens. "My resume's a masterpiece of stretching what I've done" — the kind of line that sticks in your head three days later. The mood runs frustrated, anthemic, sarcastic. Genre showcases on Majik's aren't filler — they're proof that independent music can carry real emotional weight when the lyrics and production align.
