If you've ever felt worse after an hour of scrolling, this is your soundtrack.
What is Scroll damage about?
Scroll damage is about what endless scrolling does to your head. You pick up your phone for a minute and look up an hour later, having compared your life to everyone else's highlights and come off worse every time.
It's the most 2020s song on the album. Not a lecture about phones, but an honest description of the comparison, the doom and the strange emptiness that comes after a long scroll.
What does Scroll damage sound like?
Repetitive, almost hypnotic verses that mirror the scrolling motion, before a chorus that hits like the crash afterwards.
