Anthony John Sissian’s I Am Only Lony Noly, and That’s What I Do is not your typical listen, honestly, it barely plays by any rules at all. This is avant-garde in its purest form: strange, philosophical, a little chaotic, and fully committed to its own universe.

The easiest way to describe it? Imagine the abstract vocal storytelling of Björk colliding with the spoken-word experimentation of Laurie Anderson, then remove any expectation of structure. What you’re left with is a looping, almost hypnotic exploration of identity, loneliness, and existence itself.
The track feels like a stream of consciousness that never stops moving. Words fold into each other, meanings shift mid-line, and phrases like “I am what I am” and “what I am is you” keep circling back like a philosophical echo. It’s confusing at first, but that’s kind of the point. The repetition pulls you in, almost like a mantra, until the chaos starts to feel intentional.

There’s also a weird sense of humor underneath it all. Lines bounce between deep existential ideas and playful nonsense, creating this unpredictable rhythm that keeps you locked in. It’s uncomfortable at times, but never boring. This isn’t a song you casually playlist. It’s something you experience. Only Lony Noly sits at the edge of music, art, and thought experiment, definitely not for everyone, but for the right listener, it hits like discovering a whole new language.
