“Boyfie Sale” – A Nostalgic, Glitchy Love Letter to Chaos

Max Wood, under his alias Applied Communications, has always thrived in the space between the abrasive and the irresistible. With “Boyfie Sale,” the first single from his upcoming EP Greatest Applied Communications Music, he proves that the energy of his teenage experiments can still feel fresh—just with a bit more finesse.

“Boyfie Sale” pulses with jittery beats and warped synths, like a love song put through a blender and reassembled with a knowing smirk. The track retains the raw, hyperactive essence of Wood’s early work but filters it through years of experience, giving it a strange yet satisfying polish. His vocals, disaffected yet magnetic, weave through the track’s off-kilter rhythms with a detached charm, making you question whether you’re listening to a glitch-pop anthem or an ironic eBay listing for romance itself.

There’s something oddly touching about this song—beneath the playful distortion and chaotic layering, “Boyfie Sale” carries an undercurrent of sincerity. It feels like Wood is revisiting his younger self, but instead of cringing, he’s embracing the weirdness, shaping it into something undeniably compelling. The result? A track that’s as unpredictable as it is addictive.

If this is just the first taste of Greatest Applied Communications Music, then we’re in for a wild, wonderfully unhinged ride.
