Is Propaganda Art? asks: Can propaganda be used as an art-form to control the population? Is art itself inherently propagandistic by making you feel a certain emotions and thoughts? Is all art propaganda? These themes are tackled through weaving together vivid metaphorical lyrics subtly provoking these complex thoughts with melodic hooks you won't forget.

Is Propaganda Art? contains 13 songs, and is expected to release in June 2022. Drawing inspiration from a wide variety of artists such as Modest Mouse, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana, Blur, Queens of the Stone Age, Peach Pit, Alt-J, Radiohead, Tame Impala, Cage the Elephant, Mac Demarco, R.E.M. and more.

The singles for Is Propaganda Art? are Blush, Tea, and Gen Z the Great Society Blush's melodic hook will leave you in a media-fueled, Hallmark love craze; especially when love should be directed inward first. Tea is a catch-all for body image, anorexia, and the loss of one's ability to perceive themselves clearly. Gen Z the Great Society channels the zeitgeist of the war against truth between propaganda, ideals, and facts of previous generations in our modern world.
