Skyscraper Towards the Sun is the second full-length album by Golden Mammoth after 3-years of a break from ‘Metaphoric Quadraphonic’. It is a neo-psychedelia album, but slightly more diverse experimentation mixing the roots of Syabil’s music taste in Prog-Rock, Blues, Funk, Progressive pop and smooth jazz.

The album’s concept and storyline explore Syabil’s train of thoughts, being a young adult in the 21st century. Hence, the lyrics and songwriting has different themes throughout the album. He recites dealing with anxiety, death, abandonment, capitalism, and isolation. As a result, these thoughts stack up into a massive skyscraper, (a metaphor to the obsession of humans constructing tall buildings).
