[snip] According to the band’s Spotify blurb, members include “singer and mellotron player Gabe Farrow, guitarist Lennie West, Milo Rains, who crafts the band’s textured synth sounds, and free-spirited percussionist Orion ‘Rio’ Del Mar.” The waffly blurb also features both hyperbole that ultimately tells you nothing and badly deployed simile, which feels deeply reminiscent of the textbook shortcomings of LLM output. Furthermore, this up-and-coming musical outfit is apparently made up entirely of technological hermits as I couldn’t track down a single scrap of social media for any of its named members. [/snip]

The two different links to Gabe Farrow are of two DIFFERENT people!

The Milo Rains is also weird in that the voice over is an adult and the video is a small child and dog, so is the child, the adult, or the dog Milo ?

None of this adds up at all!

And there's NO way, with 89 followers on SPOTIFY, they wracked up that many "hits" to hear the song.
