Runtime Error (Heart not Found)

14 tracks

At Carnegie Mellon, love and logic share a keyboard. Runtime Error (Heart Not Found) is a blistering, confessional pop-punk chronicle from inside the wetware substrate of a computer science student learning to debug their own humanity. Across fifteen tracks of distorted guitars, caffeinated defiance, and emotional recursion, the album wrestles with imposter syndrome, late-night labs in Wean Hall, half-compiled crushes, and the impossible task of staying human in a system that grades perfection. It’s a story of trying to optimize almost anything except feelings – until the realization hits that even broken code can still run, as long as the heart stays in the loop.
