about

I wrote and recorded these songs over the course of 2020 to 2022. They veer back and forth between loud and quiet, heavy & soft, fuzzy and/or acoustic, trippy and in between. Most of them have a pop sensibility, with a little bit of weirdness that drops in here and there.

After testing out a new tuning on my guitar I hit the ground running and wrote a lot of these. I played guitars, bass, and sang on all of these, and programmed the drums. I recorded these using the Ableton program. While I'm quite proud of my recording efforts, these are truly home-recorded demos. However, some of my favorite songs I've heard from artists I love and adore have come from their bedroom or basement on 4 tracks or recorded in rehearsal spaces.

If you go so far as to listen to these, or actually pay for them, thank you for your time. I'm quite happy with how these turned out and I hope you find something you like in these.
