Since the release of 2022’s Endless, the Canadian experimental pop duo and JOVM mainstays  Allegories — childhood friends Adam Bentley and Jordan Mitchell — have released a growing collection of standalone singles.

Earlier this year, the duo shared “DREAMCRUSHER” and “Stay Out Of The Basement,” the first two of a series of singles that originally started out as a bare-boned ukulele sketches that were gradually transformed into idiosyncratic electronic sound sculptures.

“Baker’s Lung,” the third single in the Canadian duo’s ongoing ukulele sketch series is a lush, dreamily ruminative track that sees the JOVM mainstays pairing introspective lyrics focusing on the inevitability of morality, the search for meaning in the face of mortality and the always elusive pursuit of fulfillment with swirling, shoegazer-like electronic and acoustic instrumental textures.

As the duo explain, the song sees the duo asking several questions: As you imagine the future, how do you build when the foundation of what you thought mattered no longer fills that space? What do you do when your time is consumed by the hours of a career — especially a career that’s not super fulfilling or what you’ve dreamt of doing? Can you just contemplate everything to death? Or can you follow the breadcrumbs to fulfillment, maybe even enlightenment? Probably not. But it’s worth asking. And worth trying.

The result is arguably, one of the duo’s more cinematic and otherworldly songs — while retaining the uneasy quality that they’ve been known for.
