Debut EP from Solid-State Sunlight, ExoAnthro is a concept album that introduces multiple characters struggling to find their place within a tangled man/machine future, each at different points in their own self-awakening.
This is a future where synthetic people have been inadvertently developed, and we witness, together, everything that means.
